Barents Sea seasonal ice zone features and processes from ERS 1 synthetic aperture radar: Seasonal Ice Zone Experiment 1992
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 1999-07-15)Sea ice features and processes in the Barents Sea were studied during the Seasonal Ice Zone Experiment 1992 (SIZEX92), a dedicated ERS 1 satellite synthetic aperture radar (SAR) field campaign carried out in March 1992. ... -
Characterizing chaotic dispersion in a coastal tidal model
(Journal article, 2006-07-03)Diverse Lagrangian methods are used to study dispersion and mixing in a model in the Norwegian Trondheim fjord. We focus on the tidally driven currents, neglecting wind-forcing, and generate a large number of particle ... -
A Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model for shelf sea simulation
(Journal article, 2006-03-03)The general circulation in the North Sea and Skagerrak is simulated using the Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM). Although HYCOM was originally de- veloped for simulations of the open ocean, it has a design which should ... -
The Influence of large convective eddies on the surface-layer turbulence
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2006-06)Close to the surface large coherent eddies consisting of plumes and downdraughts cause convergent winds blowing towards the plume axes, which in turn cause wind shears and generation of turbulence. This mechanism strongly ... -
Passive tracers and active dynamics - a model study of hydrography and circulation in the northern North Atlantic
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2006-08)A long-standing problem in oceanography has been to understand the relationship between what can be measured in the ocean, such as hydrography, and what cannot, such as the strength and structure of the complete Meridional ... -
Sea ice investigations in the Laptev Sea area in late summer using SAR data
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2001-10)The Laptev Sea area, including the Vilkitsky Strait, is an important part of the Northern Sea Route where the presence of sea ice makes navigation difficult even in the summer season. The objective of this study was therefore ... -
