• Current shear and turbulence during a near-inertial wave 

      Röhrs, Johannes; Halsne, Trygve; Sutherland, Graig; Dagestad, Knut-Frode; Hole, Lars Robert; Brostrøm, Gøran; Christensen, Kai Håkon (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023-04-11)
      Surface currents and turbulent mixing were observed during a near-inertial wave (NIW) using an accousting doppler current profiler (ADCP) and satellite-tracked drifters. Drifter trajectories sampled at three depth levels ...
    • Evaluating the leeway coefficient of ocean drifters using operational marine environmental prediction systems 

      Sutherland, Graig; Soontiens, Nancy; Davidson, Fraser; Smith, Gregory C.; Bernier, Natacha; Blanken, Hauke; Schillinger, Douglas; Marcotte, Guillaume; Röhrs, Johannes; Dagestad, Knut-Frode; Christensen, Kai Håkon; Breivik, Øyvind (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      The water following characteristics of six different drifter types are investigated using two different operational marine environmental prediction systems: one produced by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) and ...
    • Long term simulations of potential oil spills around Cuba 

      Hole, Lars Robert; Martins de Aguiar, Victor; Dagestad, Knut-Frode; Kourafalou, Vassiliki H.; Androulidakis, Yannis; Kang, Heesook; Le Hénaff, Matthieu; Calzada, Amilcar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Simulations over eight years of continuous surface oil spills around Cuba are carried out to identify the most likely stranding (beaching) locations. The open source Lagrangian oil drift model OpenOil is applied with high ...
    • Quantitative assessment of two oil-in-ice surface drift algorithms 

      Martins de Aguiar, Victor Cesar; Dagestad, Knut-Frode; Hole, Lars Robert; Barthel, Knut Sven (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      The ongoing reduction in extent and thickness of sea ice in the Arctic might result in an increase of oil spill risk due to the expansion of shipping activity and oil exploration shift towards higher latitudes. This work ...
