The UN decade of ocean science for sustainable development
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-07-31)Our civilization needs a clean, resilient, productive, safe, well-observed, documented and predicted ocean. “The ocean we need for the future we want” was the motto of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission proposal ... -
Uncertainties in Arctic sea ice thickness and volume: new estimates and implications for trends
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-04-22)Sea ice volume has decreased in the last decades, evoked by changes in sea ice area and thickness. Estimates of sea ice area and thickness rely on a number of geophysical parameters which introduce large uncertainties. To ... -
Uncertainty in twenty-first century projections of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation in CMIP3 and CMIP5 models

Under-Ice Phytoplankton Blooms in the Central Arctic Ocean: Insights From the First Biogeochemical IAOOS Platform Drift in 2017
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)In April 2017, the first Ice Atmosphere Arctic Ocean Observing System (IAOOS) platform equipped with biogeochemical sensors was deployed near the North Pole. Over the next 8 months it meandered southward with the ice, ... -
Understanding differences in North Atlantic poleward ocean heat transport and its variability in global climate models
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The ocean heat transport from the North Atlantic to the Barents Sea impacts the sea ice extent and the energy budget of the Arctic. The analyzed climate models from the fifth (CMIP5) and sixth Coupled Model Intercomparison ... -
Understanding of European Cold Extremes, Sudden Stratospheric Warming, and Siberian Snow Accumulation in the Winter of 2017/18
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)It is unclear whether the Eurasian snow plays a role in the tropospheric driving of sudden stratospheric warming (SSW). The major SSW event of February 2018 is analyzed using reanalysis datasets. Characterized by predominant ... -
Understanding the dynamics of recent Norwegian extreme weather events and their influence on energy production
(Master thesis, 2021-08-05)The growing frequency and severity of extreme weather events in the Northern Hemisphere has prompted a lot of research being done on their origin and physical mechanisms. Both simplified and complex approaches have been ... -
Understanding the role of organic matter cycling for the spatio-temporal structure of PCBs in the North Sea
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Using the North Sea as a case scenario, a combined three-dimensional hydrodynamic-biogeochemical-pollutant model was applied for simulating the seasonal variability of the distribution of hydrophobic chemical pollutants ... -
Undersøkelse av reaksjonsmekanismer for OMEbrennstoff for bruk til implementering i 3D-CFD simulering av forbrenning
(Master thesis, 2019-06-28)Oxymetylene etere (OME) er brennstoff som brenner så og si uten utslipp av sot. Disse syntetisk skapte brennstoffene kan spille en viktig rolle i diesel miksen en dag, og kanskje til og med et surrogat for diesel. Brennstoffet ... -
Unfrozen Skewed Turbulence for Wind Loading on Structures
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The paper introduces an algorithm to generate a three-variate four-dimensional wind turbulence field suited for yawed wind dynamic load simulation. At large yaw angles, a relaxation of Taylor’s hypothesis of frozen turbulence ... -
A uniform, quality controlled Surface Ocean CO2 Atlas (SOCAT)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)A well-documented, publicly available, global data set of surface ocean carbon dioxide (CO2) parameters has been called for by international groups for nearly two decades. The Surface Ocean CO2 Atlas (SOCAT) project was ... -
Unique relationship between tropical rainfall and SST to the north of the Mozambique Channel in boreal winter
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)In this study, we investigate a possible mechanism for the dichotomy in climatology of marine rainfall and sea surface temperature (SST) over a part of the Southwest Indian Ocean (SWIO) during boreal winter (January and ... -
An unmanned aerial vehicle sampling platform for atmospheric water vapor isotopes in polar environments
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Above polar ice sheets, atmospheric water vapor exchange occurs across the planetary boundary layer (PBL) and is an important mechanism in a number of processes that affect the surface mass balance of the ice sheets. Yet, ... -
Unmanned Aircraft Get Together: The LAPSE-RATE Campaign
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Members of the international community developing unmanned aircraft for atmospheric research conducted a highly successful coordinated flight week in Colorado during the summer of 2018 to collect measurements, develop ... -
Unravelling the March 1972 northwest Greenland windstorm with high-resolution numerical simulations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-08-07)Thule Air Base in northwest Greenland experienced an extreme windstorm during the night of 8/9 March 1972. The event is not among official WMO records because the anemometer broke after recording the highest gust of 93 m s−1. ... -
Unusual subduction zones: Case studies in Colombia and Iran
(Doctoral thesis, 2007-02-16)Subduction zones, usually, are plate boundaries with the highest level of seismic activity. However, the distribution of seismicity in these plate margins is not uniform in the frequency and magnitude. Some margins produce ... -
An update to the Surface Ocean CO2 Atlas (SOCAT version 2)
