A comparison of Langmuir turbulence parameterizations and key wave effects in a numerical model of the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Five different parameterizations of Langmuir turbulence (LT) effect are investigated in a realistic model of the North Atlantic and Arctic using realistic wave forcing from a global wave hindcast. The parameterizations ... -
Eddy-resolving simulations of the Fimbul Ice Shelf cavity circulation: Basal melting and exchange with open ocean
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-10)Melting at the base of floating ice shelves is a dominant term in the overall Antarctic mass budget. This study applies a high-resolution regional ice shelf/ocean model, constrained by observations, to (i) quantify present ... -
The impact of surface currents on the wave climate in narrow fjords
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)This study investigates the effect of surface currents on wind-generated waves in a complex coastal system with narrow fjords. The simulations are based on a phase-averaged wave model forced with surface currents from a ... -
Modelling secondary circulations in stratified bi-directional flows: A potential mechanism for flux transfer from lower to upper fluid layers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Results are presented for new laboratory-scale numerical simulations of bi-directional stratified flows generated within an idealized trapezoidal sill-channel topography, focussing on the lateral (or secondary) flow structure ... -
Modelling wave growth in narrow fetch geometries: The white-capping and wind input formulations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)This paper investigates the performance of three different wave model source term packages in narrow fetch geometries. The packages are used to model the sea state in a complex coastal system with narrow fjords on the west ... -
A novel approach to computing super observations for probabilistic wave model validation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-07)In the field of wave model validation, the use of super observations is a common strategy to smooth satellite observations and match the simulated spatiotemporal scales. An approach based on averaging along track is widely ... -
Resolving regions known for intense wave–current interaction using spectral wave models: A case study in the energetic flow fields of Northern Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Oceanic current forcing in spectral wave models have recently been demonstrated to have a large impact on wave heights at scales between one and up to several hundred kilometers. Here we investigate the impact of such ...
