      Casanova-Masjoan, M; Perez-Hernandez, MD; Pickart, Robert S.; Valdimarsson, Héðinn; Ólafsdóttir, SR; Macrander, Andreas; Grisolía-Santos, D; Torres, Daniel J.; Jónsson, Steingrímur; Våge, Kjetil; Lin, Peigen; Hernández-Guerra, A (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Data from repeat hydrographic surveys over the 25-year period 1993 to 2017, together with satellite altimetry data, are used to quantify the temporal and spatial variability of the North Icelandic Irminger Current (NIIC), ...
    • Upstream sources of the Denmark Strait Overflow: Observations from a high-resolution mooring array 

      Harden, Benjamin E.; Pickart, Robert S.; Valdimarsson, Héðinn; Våge, Kjetil; de Steur, Laura; Richards, Clark; Bahr, Frank; Torres, Dan; Børve, Eli; Jónsson, Steingrímur; Macrander, Andreas; Østerhus, Svein; Håvik, Lisbeth; Hattermann, Tore (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)
      We present the first results from a densely instrumented mooring array upstream of the Denmark Strait sill, extending from the Iceland shelfbreak to the Greenland shelf. The array was deployed from September 2011 to July ...
    • Water mass transformation in the Iceland Sea 

      Våge, Kjetil; Moore, George William Kent; Jónsson, Steingrímur; Valdimarsson, Héðinn (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)
      The water mass transformation that takes place in the Iceland Sea during winter is investigated using historical hydrographic data and atmospheric reanalysis fields. Surface densities exceeding σθ ¼ 27:8 kg=m3, and hence ...
    • Water mass transformation in the Iceland Sea: Contrasting two winters separated by four decades 

      Våge, Kjetil; Semper, Stefanie; Valdimarsson, Héðinn; Jónsson, Steingrímur; Pickart, Robert S.; Moore, G.W.K. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Dense water masses formed in the Nordic Seas flow across the Greenland–Scotland Ridge and contribute substantially to the lower limb of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. Originally considered an important ...
