The influence of surface gravity waves on the injection of turbulence in the upper ocean
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-06-25)Observations were made in the near-surface layer, at about 8 m depth in 132 m deep water off the coast of Ålesund in Norway, for a duration of 2.5 months in late 2011. The measurement period covers the passage of two low ... -
Influence of synoptic weather patterns on solar irradiance variability in northern Europe
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-05)Observations have revealed strong variability of shortwave (SW) irradiance at Earth’s surface on decadal time scales, referred to as global dimming and brightening. Previous studies have attributed the dimming and brightening ... -
The influence of terrain on the mean wind flow characteristics in a fjord
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Flow conditions in complex terrains such as fjords are highly three-dimensional and thus not properly captured by the wind flow models developed for homogenous terrains. In the present study, we explore the potential of ... -
The influence of the ocean and the stratosphere on climate persistence in the North Atlantic region
(Doctoral thesis, 2009-09-07)The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) is generally regarded to largely be a product of processes internal to the troposphere. This thesis investigates various aspects of how the NAO and related climatical fields are influenced ... -
The Influence of the Surface Humidity Flux on the Snow Isotopic Composition. Revisiting the Formation of the Climate Signal Stored in Ice Core Water Isotope Records
(Doctoral thesis, 2022-02-24)Accurate projections of future climate rely on knowledge of natural climate variability on different time scales. Climate proxies, such as stable water isotope records recovered from ice cores, provide insights into the ... -
The Influence of Vertical Mixing on the Stability of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation
(Doctoral thesis, 2006-12-05) -
Influences of Lake Malawi on the spatial and diurnal variability on local precipitation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)We investigate how the intensity and spatial distribution of precipitation vary around Lake Malawi on a diurnal timescale, which can be valuable information for water resource management in tropical south-eastern African ... -
Initialization shock in the ocean circulation reduces skill in decadal predictions of the North Atlantic subpolar gyre
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Due to large northward heat transport, the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) strongly affects the climate of various regions. Its internal variability has been shown to be predictable decades ahead within ... -
Innovative Strategies for Observations in the Arctic Atmospheric Boundary Layer
(Doctoral thesis, 2020-11-20)In this thesis, consisting of five scientific papers, I investigate the potential of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) in stable boundary layer (SBL) research, by developing and applying a new innovative observation strategy. ... -
Innovative strategies for observations in the Arctic atmospheric boundary layer (ISOBAR)—The Hailuoto 2017 Campaign
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-07-16)The aim of the research project “Innovative Strategies for Observations in the Arctic Atmospheric Boundary Layer (ISOBAR)” is to substantially increase the understanding of the stable atmospheric boundary layer (SBL) through ... -
The Innovative Strategies for Observations in the Arctic Atmospheric Boundary Layer Project (ISOBAR) — Unique fine-scale observations under stable and very stable conditions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The Innovative Strategies for Observations in the Arctic Atmospheric Boundary Layer Program (ISOBAR) is a research project investigating stable atmospheric boundary layer (SBL) processes, whose representation still poses ... -
Inorganic Carbon and Water Masses in the Irminger Sea since 1991
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-02-17)The subpolar gyre region in the North Atlantic is a major sink for anthropogenic carbon. While the storage rates show large interannual variability related to atmospheric forcing, less is known about variability in the ... -
The inorganic carbon cycle of the Red Sea
(Doctoral thesis, 2017-11-14)The aim of this thesis has been to improve the general scientific understanding of the marine inorganic carbon cycle of the Red Sea. The region houses an exceptional range of ecosystems and it is considered the most important ... -
Insights into the quantification and reporting of model-related uncertainty across different disciplines
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Quantifying uncertainty associated with our models is the only way we can express how much we know about any phenomenon. Incomplete consideration of model-based uncertainties can lead to overstated conclusions with real-world ... -
Insights into the Summer Diurnal Cycle over Eastern South Africa
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Adopting a state-of-the-art numerical model system, we investigate how the diurnal variations in precipitation and local breeze systems are characterized by lower-boundary conditions related to the Drakensberg highland and ... -
An Integrated Approach for Local Air Quality Assessment under Present and Future Climate Scenarios
(Doctoral thesis, 2016-12-16)Local circulation features in complex terrain are often not resolved in today’s mesoscale numerical weather prediction and research models. For urban areas embedded in complex terrain a prediction of the local circulation ... -
Intensification of Near‐Surface Currents and Shear in the Eastern Arctic Ocean
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)A 15‐year (2004–2018) record of mooring observations from the upper 50 m of the ocean in the eastern Eurasian Basin reveals increased current speeds and vertical shear, associated with an increasing coupling between wind, ... -
Intensified Impacts of Central Pacific ENSO on the Reversal of December and January Surface Air Temperature Anomaly over China since 1997
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The reversal of surface air temperature anomalies (SATA) in winter brings a great challenge for short-term climate prediction, and the mechanisms are not well understood. This study found that the reversal of SATA between ... -
An Intensity and Size Phase Space for Tropical Cyclone Structure and Evolution
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Intensity and size are important to characterize a tropical cyclone (TC), but there are a wide variety of ways that both metrics are defined. TC intensity can refer to either a maximum sustained wind speed at some height ... -
