Mean structure and seasonality of the Norwegian Atlantic Front Current along the Mohn Ridge from repeated glider transects
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The poleward flow of Atlantic Water in the Nordic Seas forms the upper limb of the meridional overturning circulation driving an important heat transport. The Norwegian Atlantic Front Current along the Mohn Ridge between ... -
Measured volume, heat, and salt fluxes from the Atlantic to the Arctic Mediterranean
(Journal article, 2005-04-07)The flow of warm and saline Atlantic water towards the Arctic crosses the Greenland-Scotland Ridge in three current branches. Since the mid 1990's, extensive monitoring with quasi-permanent moorings and regular CTD cruises ... -
Measured, modelled and satellite derived solar radiation in Scandinavia
(Master thesis, 2011-06-01)This article presents a comparison of global radiation data at different sites at the Scandinavian Peninsula. It makes use of ground truth, modelled and satellite derived surface global radiation data. First, a quality ... -
Measurement and evaluation of OH-airglow spectra over Svalbard
(Master thesis, 2001) -
Measurement and Modelling of Underwater Acoustic Noise induced by Offshore Wind Turbines under the Effects of Varying Oceanic and Sea-State Conditions
(Master thesis, 2022-06-01)In this thesis, we have performed several processing methods for analysing available hydrophone data. This was done in order to study the sound pressure levels in the vicinity of an offshore wind farm, and to identify ... -
A mechanical energy budget for the North Sea
(Journal article, 2004-06-29)A three-dimensional baroclinic numerical model is used to quantify the components of the mechanical energy budget for a semi-enclosed sea, the North Sea. As anticipated, tidal energy is the largest supplier of mechanical ... -
Mechanisms affecting the transport of early stages of Norwegian Coastal Cod - a fjord study
(Master thesis, 2008-05-30)The fjord system of Sørfolda and Nordfolda situated in northern Norway is used in a model study. Particularly to explore the mechanisms causing separation and mixing of eggs from Arcto-Norwegian Cod (ANC) and Norwegian ... -
Mechanisms and pathways of ocean heat anomalies in the Arctic-Atlantic region
(Doctoral thesis, 2020-12-10)Along the Atlantic water pathway, from the Gulf Stream in the south to the Arctic Ocean in the north, variability in ocean heat content is pronounced on interannual to decadal time scales. Ocean heat anomalies in this ... -
Mechanisms for decadal scale variability in a simulated Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-06-25)Variability in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) has been analysed using a 600-year pre-industrial control simulation with the Bergen Climate Model. The typical AMOC variability has amplitudes of 1 ... -
Mechanisms of decadal North Atlantic climate variability and implications for the recent cold anomaly
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Decadal sea surface temperature (SST) fluctuations in the North Atlantic Ocean influence climate over adjacent land areas and are a major source of skill in climate predictions. However, the mechanisms underlying decadal ... -
Mechanisms of Ocean Heat Anomalies in the Norwegian Sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-04)Ocean heat content in the Norwegian Sea exhibits pronounced variability on interannual to decadal time scales. These ocean heat anomalies are known to influence Arctic sea ice extent, marine ecosystems, and continental ... -
Mechanisms of offshore solid and liquid freshwater flux from the East Greenland Current
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The mechanisms that control the export of freshwater from the East Greenland Current, in both liquid and solid form, are explored using an idealized numerical model and scaling theory. A regional, coupled ocean–sea ice ... -
Mechanisms of regional winter sea-ice variability in a warming arctic
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The Arctic winter sea ice cover is in retreat overlaid by large internal variability. Changes to sea ice are driven by exchange of heat, momentum, and freshwater within and between the ocean and the atmosphere. Using a ... -
The mechanisms that determine the response of the Northern Hemisphere’s stationary waves to North American Ice Sheets
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-07-01)Stationary waves describe the persistent meanders in the west–east flow of the extratropical atmosphere. Here, changes in stationary waves caused by ice sheets over North America are examined and the underlying mechanisms ... -
Mechanisms underlying recent Arctic atlantification
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-20)Recent warming and reduced sea ice concentrations in the Atlantic sector of the Arctic Ocean are the main signatures of ongoing Arctic “Atlantification.” The mechanisms driving the warming trends are nevertheless still ... -
Melting of Northern Greenland during the last interglaciation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-11-05)Using simulated climate data from the comprehensive coupled climate model IPSL CM4, we simulate the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) during the Eemian interglaciation with the three-dimensional ice sheet model SICOPOLIS. The ... -
Meridional and vertical variations of the water vapour isotopic composition in the marine boundary layer over the Atlantic and Southern Ocean
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Stable water isotopologues (SWIs) are useful tracers of moist diabatic processes in the atmospheric water cycle. They provide a framework to analyse moist processes on a range of timescales from large-scale moisture transport ... -
Meridional Ocean Carbon Transport
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The ocean's ability to take up and store CO2 is a key factor for understanding past and future climate variability. However, qualitative and quantitative understanding of surface-to-interior pathways, and how the ocean ... -
Mesoscale Eddies Are Oases for Higher Trophic Marine Life
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-01-17)Mesoscale eddies stimulate biological production in the ocean, but knowledge of energy transfers to higher trophic levels within eddies remains fragmented and not quantified. Increasing the knowledge base is constrained ...
