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 ... -
Temperature Inversions in the Bergen Valley and Testing of Low-Cost Temperature and Air Quality Measuring Instruments
(Master thesis, 2018-06-22)This study aimed at two goals, the testing of simple low-cost measurement sensors for temperature and air pollution, and the investigation of temperature inversions in the Bergen valley. For this we conducted a 13 months ... -
Temporal and spatial variability of the sea surface salinity in the Nordic Seas
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2002-11-02)In this paper, the temporal and spatial variability of the sea surface salinity (SSS) in the Nordic Seas is investigated. The data include a Russian hydrographical database for the Nordic Seas and daily to weekly observations ... -
Temporal biomass dynamics of an Arctic plankton bloom in response to increasing levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-01-11)Ocean acidification and carbonation, driven by anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), have been shown to affect a variety of marine organisms and are likely to change ecosystem functioning. High latitudes, ... -
Temporal variability in surface water pCO2 in Adventfjorden (West Spitsbergen) with emphasis on physical and biogeochemical drivers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-07)Seasonal and interannual variability in surface water partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) and air‐sea CO2 fluxes from a West Spitsbergen fjord (IsA Station, Adventfjorden) are presented, and the associated driving forces are ... -
Testing a Flexible Method to Reduce False Monsoon Onsets
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-08-08)To generate information about the monsoon onset and withdrawal we have to choose a monsoon definition and apply it to data. One problem that arises is that false monsoon onsets can hamper our analysis, which is often ... -
The Atmospheric Surface Layer over Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica

The Effect of Near-Well Heterogeneity on Spatial Distribution of Salt Precipitation During CO2 Injection
(Master thesis, 2024-06-03)The world is in need of a shift to cleaner energy, and carbon storage is expected to be an important part of the transition. Geological carbon storage is a process in which captured carbon dioxide (CO2) is injected into ... -
The Effects of Diabatic Heating on the Paradigmatic LC1 and LC2 Baroclinic Lifecycles
(Master thesis, 2023-06-01)Extratropical cyclones play a crucial role in determining mid-latitude weather, where the atmosphere is on average inducive to baroclinic instability. Literature has identified two lifecycle behaviors, one that is predominantly ... -
The importance of wind turbulence and coherence to the loads on a wind turbine blade
(Master thesis, 2019-06-25)The wind simulation method proposed by Paul S. Veers from Sandia National Laboratories has been checked for the measured wind velocities at 40m and 80m height at FINO1 platform. The Sandia method applied as it is, gives ... -
Thermodynamic and dynamic contributions to the abrupt increased winter Arctic sea ice growth since 2008
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The area of Arctic winter sea ice growth (WSIG) has expanded dramatically since winter 2008. Yet the thermodynamic and dynamic contributions to the abrupt increase in WSIG remain unclear. Here using an ice concentration ... -
Thermodynamic controls of the Atlantic Niño
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-11-26)Prevailing theories on the equatorial Atlantic Niño are based on the dynamical interaction between atmosphere and ocean. However, dynamical coupled ocean-atmosphere models poorly simulate and predict equatorial Atlantic ... -
Thin and transient meltwater layers and false bottoms in the Arctic sea ice pack-Recent insights on these historically overlooked features
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The rapid melt of snow and sea ice during the Arctic summer provides a significant source of low-salinity meltwater to the surface ocean on the local scale. The accumulation of this meltwater on, under, and around sea ice ... -
Thunderstorms in Norway. A climatological and a case study
(Master thesis, 2011-06-01)The object of this thesis are thunderstorms in Norway. In the first part, the variability of thunderstorms in time and space is investigated, based on synoptic observations from 60 weather stations in Norway. An analysis ... -
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 ... -
Tidally Forced Lee Waves Drive Turbulent Mixing Along the Arctic Ocean Margins
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)In the Arctic Ocean, limited measurements indicate that the strongest mixing below the atmospherically forced surface mixed layer occurs where tidal currents are strong. However, mechanisms of energy conversion from tides ... -
Tidally induced internal motion in an Arctic fjord
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-01-10)The internal response in a stratified, partially enclosed basin subject to semi-diurnal tidal forcing through a narrow entrance is investigated. The site is located above the critical latitude where linear internal waves ... -
Tides and shallow water dynamics near Tromsø
(Master thesis, 2018-06-20)I have investigated the tidal dynamics near Tromsø using data from some observations and from a numerical model. These data show that currents relating to the shallow water tides are very pronounced at the Tromsøysund and ... -
