Decadal Variability and Trends of Atlantic Water and Adjacent Water Masses Along the Continental Slope West and North of Svalbard
(Master thesis, 2024-06-03)In recent decades, the temperature of the West Spitsbergen Current north of Svalbard has risen substantially, with major implications for the Arctic Ocean and the Arctic sea ice cover. However, our understanding of long- term ... -
The Svalbard branch of the West Spitsbergen Current: Hydrography, transport and mixing
(Master thesis, 2017-08-01)Data from a 10 days shipboard survey in August 2015, northwest of Svalbard, are used to investigate the transport, structure and mixing of Atlantic water (AW) along the Svalbard branch and Yermak branch of the West Spitsbergen ... -
Tidal forcing and internal tide energetics around Svalbard: a numerical study
(Master thesis, 2020-06-27)The hydrostatic and linear Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) is used to examine the tidal forcing and the resulting baroclinic response and energetics of internal tides generated around Svalbard in the Arctic Ocean. ... -
Tidal forcing, energetics, and mixing near the Yermak Plateau
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-03-27)The Yermak Plateau (YP), located northwest of Svalbard in Fram Strait, is the final passage for the inflow of warm Atlantic Water into the Arctic Ocean. The region is characterized by the largest barotropic tidal velocities ...
