Assessing Model Uncertainties Through Proper Experimental Design
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)This paper assesses how parameter uncertainties in the model for rise velocity of CO2 droplets in the ocean cause uncertainties in their rise and dissolution in marine waters. The parameter uncertainties in the rise velocity ... -
Assessing non-linearity in European temperature-sensitive tree-ring data
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-02)We test the application of parametric, non-parametric, and semi-parametric calibration models for reconstructing summer (June–August) temperature from a set of tree-ring width and density data on the same dendro samples ... -
Assessing North Atlantic winter climate response to geomagnetic activity and solar irradiance variability
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Recent studies suggest a response in the North Atlantic winter circulation which lags by a couple of years with respect to sunspot maximum. This has been explained by two different top‐down mechanisms: a solar wind driven ... -
Assessing rock glaciers for their hydrological significance in the Semi-arid Andes, Chile
(Master thesis, 2024-08-05)Rock glacier plays an important hydrological role in the semi-arid Chilean Andes, acting as buffers against water scarcity in a warming climate. This role will become more significant in the future since the glaciers in ... -
Assessing sampling coverage of species distribution in biodiversity databases
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Aim: Biodiversity databases are valuable resources for understanding plant species distributions and dynamics, but they may insufficiently represent the actual geographic distribution and climatic niches of species. Here ... -
Assessing the effectiveness of an electricalstunning and chilling protocol for theslaughter of Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-09-04)Inducing unconsciousness in fish using electrical stunning prior to slaughter may improve fish welfare and fillet quality if such practises can be disseminated into wild capture fisheries. The objectives of this study were ... -
Assessing the exploitation status of main fisheries resources in Ghana’s reservoirs based on reconstructed catches and a length-based bootstrapping stock assessment method
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Abobi SM, Mildenberger TK, Kolding J, Wolff M. 2019. Assessing the exploitation status of main fisheries resources in Ghana’s reservoirs based on reconstructed catches and a length-based bootstrapping stock assessment ... -
Assessing the influence of sea surface temperature and arctic sea ice cover on the uncertainty in the boreal winter future climate projections
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)We investigate the uncertainty (i.e., inter-model spread) in future projections of the boreal winter climate, based on the forced response of ten models from the CMIP5 following the RCP8.5 scenario. The uncertainty in the ... -
Assessing the influence of supraglacial lakes to the mass balance of Tapado Glacier
(Master thesis, 2023-11-27)Glaciers are an important source of water for agriculture, mining and large population residing in downstream basins in the semiarid Andes. The Tapado Complex (2.44 km2) is the main glacier in the catchment Coquimbo-La ... -
Assessing the Norwegian Offshore Wind Resources: Climatology, Power Variability and Wind Farm Siting
(Doctoral thesis, 2022-09-09)De norske havvindressursene er fantastiske. Likevel er det ingen operative vindparker i de norske havvområdene. Tatt i betraktning både utslippsmål og forventet økning i elektrisitetsforbruk har regjerningen nå begynt å ... -
Assessing the performance of statistical classifiers to discriminate fish stocks using Fourier analysis of otolith shape
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The assignment of individual fish to its stock of origin is important for reliable stock assessment and fisheries management. Otolith shape is commonly used as the marker of distinct stocks in discrimination studies. Our ... -
Assessing the potential for gas supersaturation downstream of hydropower plants in Norway, Austria and Germany
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Hydroelectric power facilities can generate episodic total dissolved gas supersaturation (TDGS), which is harmful to aquatic life. We developed a decision tree-based risk assessment to identify the potential for TDGS at ... -
Assessing the relation between geodiversity and species richness in mountain heaths and tundra landscapes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Context Recent studies show that geodiversity—the diversity of Earth's landforms, materials, and processes—has a positive relationship with biodiversity at a landscape scale. However, there is a substantial lack of evidence ... -
Assessing the reproductive biology of the Greenland shark (Somniosus microcephalus)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The Greenland shark (Somniosus microcephalus, Squaliformes: Somniosidae) is a long-lived Arctic top predator, which in combination with the high historical and modern fishing pressures, has made it subject to increased ... -
Assessing the Sampling Quality of a Low-Tech Low-Budget Volume-Based Rainfall Sampler for Stable Isotope Analysis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-09-27)To better understand the small-scale variability of rainfall and its isotopic composition it is advantageous to utilize rain samplers which are at the same time low-cost, low-tech, robust, and precise with respect to the ... -
Assessing the tropical Atlantic biogeochemical processes in the Norwegian Earth System Model
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)State-of-the-art Earth system models exhibit large biases in their representation of the tropical Atlantic hydrography, with potential large impacts on both climate and ocean biogeochemistry projections. This study ... -
