Coastal submesoscale processes and their effect on phytoplankton distribution in the southeastern Bay of Biscay
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Submesoscale processes have a determinant role in the dynamics of oceans by transporting momentum, heat, mass, and particles. Furthermore, they can define niches where different phytoplankton species flourish and accumulate ... -
Dynamical reconstruction of the upper-ocean state in the central Arctic during the winter period of the MOSAiC expedition
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)This paper presents a methodological tool for dynamic reconstruction of the state of the ocean, based, as an example, on observations from the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) ... -
An emerging pathway of Atlantic Water to the Barents Sea through the Svalbard Archipelago: Drivers and variability
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The Barents Sea, an important component of the Arctic Ocean, is experiencing changes in its ocean currents, stratification, sea ice variability, and marine ecosystems. Inflowing Atlantic Water (AW) is a key driver of these ... -
Hydrography, circulation, and response to atmospheric forcing in the vicinity of the central Getz Ice Shelf, Amundsen Sea, Antarctica
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Ice shelves in the Amundsen Sea are thinning rapidly as ocean currents bring warm water into the cavities beneath the floating ice. Although the reported melt rates for the Getz Ice Shelf are comparatively low for the ... -
Inherent optical properties of dissolved and particulate matter in an Arctic fjord (Storfjorden, Svalbard) in early summer
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Lysforholdene i havet spiller en nøkkelrolle for marin primærproduksjon og dermed for det hele marine økosystemet. I polområdene er det spesielt stor sesongvariasjon i lysforholdene, og mange ulike prosesser kan påvirke ... -
The mesoscale eddy field in the Lofoten Basin from high-resolution Lagrangian simulations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Warm Atlantic-origin waters are modified in the Lofoten Basin in the Nordic Seas on their way toward the Arctic. An energetic eddy field redistributes these waters in the basin. Retained for extended periods, the warm ... -
Norwegian Atlantic Slope Current along the Lofoten Escarpment
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-06)Observations from moored instruments are analyzed to describe the Norwegian Atlantic Slope Current at the Lofoten Escarpment (13∘ E, 69∘ N). The data set covers a 14-month period from June 2016 to September 2017 and resolves ... -
Observed change and the extent of coherence in the Gulf Stream system
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)By transporting warm and salty water poleward, the Gulf Stream system maintains a mild climate in northwestern Europe while also facilitating the dense water formation that feeds the deep ocean. The sensitivity of North ... -
A revised ocean glider concept to realize Stommel's vision and supplement Argo floats
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-02)This paper revisits Stommel's vision for a global glider network and the Argo design specification. A concept of floats with wings, so-called slow underwater gliders, is explored. An analysis of the energy or power consumption ... -
Stirring across the Antarctic Circumpolar Current's southern boundary at the prime meridian, Weddell Sea
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)At the southern boundary of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), relatively warm ACC waters encounter the colder waters surrounding Antarctica. Strong density gradients across the southern boundary indicate the presence ... -
Structure and drivers of ocean mixing north of Svalbard in summer and fall 2018
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The Arctic Ocean is a major sink for heat and salt for the global ocean. Ocean mixing contributes to this sink by mixing the Atlantic- and Pacific-origin waters with surrounding waters. We investigate the drivers of ocean ... -
Technical note: Turbulence measurements from a light autonomous underwater vehicle
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)A self-contained turbulence instrument from Rockland Scientific was installed on a light autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) from OceanScan Marine Systems and Technology Lda. We report on the data quality and discuss ...
