Mesoscale variability of the Antarctic slope front and the slope front current
(Master thesis, 2022-06-01)The Weddell Sea is essential for the global climate due to the production of the dense shelf water that contributes to the Weddell Sea Bottom Water (WSBW), feeding the lower limb of the global thermohaline circulation (Orsi ... -
Microstructure measurements using a glider in the Faroe Bank Channel Overflow
(Master thesis, 2013-05-30)The application of turbulence instrumentation on underwater gliders is addressed, and two methods for glider-inferred dissipation rates of turbulent kinetic energy are evaluated against a ship-based vertical microstructure ... -
Numerical modelling of the sub-surface melting of marine-terminating glaciers in Arctic fjords
(Master thesis, 2015-06-01)Submarine melting of glaciers terminating in fjords is likely to be of high importance regarding the total ice loss from ice sheets and ice caps and the resulting addition of freshwater to the ocean. Submarine melting ... -
Ocean acidication in the Arabian Sea and the Red Sea - factors controlling pH
(Master thesis, 2010-06-01)The CO2 increase in the ocean due to uptake of anthropogenic CO2 and the companying lowering of ocean pH is of major concern. In this study we investigated the variability of CO2 system parameters, focusing particularly ... -
Oceanic heat transport towards Getz Ice Shelf, Amundsen Sea
(Master thesis, 2019-12-11)Two years of mooring data from a trough leading up to one of the central ice shelf fronts of the Getz Ice Shelf, Western Amundsen Sea, are used to describe the local hydrography and currents, their variability and possible ... -
Oil Spill Modeling in Sea Ice Covered Ocean
(Master thesis, 2021-06-01)The ongoing reduction in extent and thickness of sea ice in the Arctic allows the expansion of shipping activity and oil exploration in the high north, and with that a potential increased risk of oil spill in ice covered ... -
On the Influence of Latent and Sensible Heating for Maintaining Baroclinicity in the Gulf Stream Region
(Master thesis, 2016-06-01)For the North Atlantic storm track to collocate with the ocean front, there has to be efficient restoring mechanisms for baroclinicity. The total diabatic heating is agreed to play the most dominant role, but whether the ... -
On the use of car observations to evaluate and improve road weather forecasting
(Master thesis, 2023-06-01) -
Origin of moisture at Arctic sites
(Master thesis, 2016-06-01)The hydrological cycle is an important component in the understanding of the climate system, and a good understanding of the moisture transport in the atmosphere is important in a changing climate. The climate change may ... -
Overturning in the Nordic Seas from 2002 to 2017 in the Arctic Subpolar gyre sTate Estimate
(Master thesis, 2022-06-01)A data-constrained, medium-resolution coupled sea ice-ocean state estimate, the Arctic Subpolar gyre sTate Estimate, is evaluated in the Nordic Seas. The state estimate is dynamically and kinematically consistent, and has ... -
Peak-summer energy and carbon fluxes on a thawing permafrost site
(Master thesis, 2018-12-13)We present measurements of surface fluxes taken between 7 July and 6 August 2017, on a palsa mire near the Iškoras mountain in Finnmark, northern Norway. Palsa mires are a particular landform found at the edge of the ... -
Physical-Biogeochemical Couplings in the Land-Ocean Transition Zone
(Master thesis, 2014-06-03)A significant fraction of global primary production takes place on continental shelves. Due to their interactions with the open oceans, they are highly relevant for the cycling of nutrients, oxygen, and carbon, not only ... -
Pre-bloom dynamics of the Subpolar North Atlantic microbial food web
(Master thesis, 2013-02-18)The aim of this study was to investigate the microbial planktonic food web in the pre- bloom period of the Subpolar North Atlantic Ocean. Through repeated visits to the Icelandic Basin, Norwegian Basin, and on the Shetland ... -
Properties of the Yellow Sea Meteotsunamis in Spring
(Master thesis, 2015-06-01)This paper documents the properties of the Yellow Sea meteotsunamis in spring based on a total num- ber of 49 meteotsunami events in spring (Mar-May) between 2002 and 2013 documented by the Korea Meteorological Administration ... -
A quantitative description of the West Spitsbergen Current by combining hydrography, altimetry and in-situ current meters
(Master thesis, 2014-06-02)In a warming Arctic Ocean (AO) it is important to study its main source of oceanic heat and salt. Here, seasonal climatological sections of the West Spitsbergen Current (WSC) across 78.83°N have been constructed using ... -
Reconstruction of Glacier Mass Balance and Sensitivity Tests to Climate Change: A case study of Ålfotbreen and Nigardsbreen
(Master thesis, 2011-11-30)A physically-based one dimensional CROCUS snow model was applied to simulate the surface mass balances of Ålfotbreen (1964-2009) and Nigardsbreen (1962-2009) in southern Norway. The required hourly meteorological input ... -
Sea level variation in the Red Sea based on SODA data
(Master thesis, 2012-10-01)In this study we investigate the sea level variation in the Red Sea focusing on wind stress setup. 50-years dataset from 1957 to 2007 of sea level and wind stress from Simple Ocean Data Assimilation (SODA) data version ... -
Seasonal and Interannual Variations of Surface Nutrients and Hydrography in the Norwegian Sea
(Master thesis, 2012-10-01)Seasonal and interannual variations of surface nutrients and hydrography data obtained in period (1997-2010) by the Institute of Marine Research over three transects: Fugløya-Bjørnøya, Gimsøy and Svinøy located in the ... -
Seasonality of Surface Chlorophyll in the Red Sea
(Master thesis, 2012-10-01)Although the understanding of the oceanography of the Red Sea has been developed over the last few decades, but we still have a little knowledge about the influences of the physical factors on the phytoplankton activity. ... -
SFY: A free-drifting wave buoy for measuring surf waves
(Master thesis, 2023-06-01)Breaking waves have been studied for over a century. Still, there is an insufficient understanding of wave breaking due to limited in situ data. The high variability and the energetic environment in the surf zone makes it ...
