• Characterization of Wind-Sea- and Swell-Induced Wave Energy along the Norwegian Coast 

      Christakos, Konstantinos; Varlas, George; Cheliotis, Ioannis; Spyrou, Christos; Aarnes, Ole Johan; Furevik, Birgitte Rugaard (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      The necessity to reduce CO2 emissions in combination with the rising energy demand worldwide makes the extensive use of renewable energy sources increasingly important. To that end, countries with long coastlines, such as ...
    • Comparison of wind speed and wave height trends from twentieth-century models and satellite altimeters 

      Meucci, Alberto; Young, Ian R.; Aarnes, Ole Johan; Breivik, Øyvind (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      The trends in marine 10-m wind speed U10 and significant wave height Hs found in two century-long reanalyses are compared against a model-only integration. Reanalyses show spurious trends due to the assimilation of an ...
    • Directional wave measurements from navigational buoys 

      Sætre, Camilla; Tholo, Harald; Hovdenes, Jostein; Kocbach, Jan; Hageberg, Anne Ansnes; Klepsvik, Inge; Aarnes, Ole Johan; Furevik, Birgitte Rugaard; Magnusson, Anne Karin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      In-situ wave measurements are often required by marine industry standards and for verification of coastal wave forecasts. Obtaining wave measurements is costly and it would be advantageous to utilize existing platforms ...
    • Global ocean wave fields show consistent regional trends between 1980 and 2014 in a multi-product ensemble 

      Erikson, L.; Morim, J.; Hemer, M.; Young, I.; Wang, X.L.; Mentaschi, L.; Mori, N.; Semedo, A.; Stopa, J.; Grigorieva, V.; Gulev, S.; Aarnes, Ole Johan; Bidlot, J.-R.; Breivik, Øyvind; Bricheno, L.; Shimura, T.; Menendez, M.; Markina, M.; Sharmar, V.; Trenham, C.; Wolf, J.; Appendini, C.; Caires, S.; Groll, N.; Webb, A. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Historical trends in the direction and magnitude of ocean surface wave height, period, or direction are debated due to diverse data, time-periods, or methodologies. Using a consistent community-driven ensemble of global ...
    • The Impact of a Reduced High-Wind Charnock Parameter on Wave Growth With Application to the North Sea, the Norwegian Sea, and the Arctic Ocean 

      Breivik, Øyvind; Carrasco, Ana; Haakenstad, Hilde; Aarnes, Ole Johan; Behrens, Arno; Bidlot, Jean-Raymond; Björkqvist, Jan-Victor; Bohlinger, Patrik; Furevik, Birgitte Rugaard; Staneva, Joanna; Reistad, Magnar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      As atmospheric models move to higher resolution and resolve smaller scales, the maximum modeled wind speed also tends to increase. Wave models tuned to coarser wind fields tend to overestimate the wave growth under strong ...
    • In situ coastal observations of wave homogeneity and coherence 

      Christakos, Konstantinos; Gao, Zhen; Furevik, Birgitte Rugaard; Björkqvist, Jan-Victor; Aarnes, Ole Johan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      A better understanding of wave homogeneity, i.e. the spatial variations of the wave characteristics, and wave coherence in coastal areas and fjords is essential for the design and analysis of sea-crossing infrastructures, ...
    • Nora3: A nonhydrostatic high-resolution hindcast of the North sea, the Norwegian sea, and the Barents sea 

      Haakenstad, Hilde; Breivik, Øyvind; Furevik, Birgitte Rugaard; Reistad, Magnar; Bohlinger, Patrik; Aarnes, Ole Johan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      The 3-km Norwegian Reanalysis (NORA3) is a 15-yr mesoscale-permitting atmospheric hindcast of the North Sea, the Norwegian Sea, and the Barents Sea. With a horizontal resolution of 3 km, the nonhydrostatic numerical weather ...
