Atlantic Multidecadal Variability (AMV) in the Norwegian Earth System model
(Master thesis, 2020-06-26)The causes of low-frequency sea surface temperature (SST) variations in the Atlantic, known as Atlantic Multidecadal Variability (AMV), are debated. AMV has climatic impacts on for instance hurricane activity and Sahel ... -
The Atlantic Multidecadal Variability phase-dependence of teleconnection between the North Atlantic Oscillation in February and the Tibetan Plateau in March
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The Tibetan Plateau (TP), referred to as the “Asian water tower,” contains one of the largest land ice masses on Earth. The local glacier shrinkage and frozen-water storage are strongly affected by variations in surface ... -
Atlantic thermohaline changes and its implications on the carbon cycle during the Last Interglacial
(Doctoral thesis, 2020-06-16)Large and abrupt changes in the Earth’s climate have been recorded in marine records and Greenland ice cores and mostly characterize the last glacial period. These sudden transitions of climate, occurring within a few ... -
The Atlantic Water flow along the Vøring Plateau: Detecting frontal structures in oceanic station time series
(Deep-Sea Research 54(3), 2007-01-13)The topographic steering of the baroclinic western branch of the Norwegian Atlantic Current (NwAC) determines the extent of Atlantic Water and location of the Arctic Front in the Nordic Seas. In this paper the geographical ... -
Atlantic Water in the Arctic Ocean - Mechanisms and Impacts
(Doctoral thesis, 2021-08-19)The Arctic Ocean plays a fundamental role in regulating Earth’s climate, and a changing Arctic will affect climate, weather, and life everywhere on the planet. Understanding the fundamental dynamics and mechanisms driving ... -
Atlantic Water Inflow Through the Yermak Pass Branch: Evolution Since 2007
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Thirty-four months (2017–2020) of mooring data were recently obtained at 80.6°N, 7.26°E in the main branch of Atlantic Water inflow to the Arctic, the Yermak Pass Branch. The Yermak Pass Branch was sampled at that same ... -
Atlantic Water Pathways Along the North-Western Svalbard Shelf Mapped Using Vessel-Mounted Current Profilers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-03)A large amount of warm Atlantic water (AW) enters the Arctic as a boundary current through Fram Strait (West Spitsbergen Current [WSC]) and is the major oceanic heat source to the Arctic Ocean. Along the north‐western ... -
Atlantic water transformation along its poleward pathway across the Nordic Seas
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-08-23)The warm and salty Atlantic Water is substantially modified along its poleward transit across the Nordic Seas, where it reaches deeper isopycnals. In particular, the Lofoten Basin, exposed to intense air‐sea interactions, ... -
An Atlantic-driven rapid circulation change in the North Pacific Ocean during the late 1990s
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-10-08)Interbasin interactions have been increasingly emphasized in recent years due to their roles in shaping climate trends and the global warming hiatus in the northern hemisphere. The profound influence from the North Atlantic ... -
Atlantic-Origin Overflow Water in the East Greenland Current
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Dense water masses transported southward along the east coast of Greenland in the East Greenland Current (EGC) form the largest contribution to the Denmark Strait Overflow. When exiting Denmark Strait these dense water ... -
Atmospheric boundary layers in storms: advanced theory and modelling applications
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2005-03-29)Turbulent planetary boundary layers (PBLs) control the exchange processes between the atmosphere and the ocean/land. The key problems of PBL physics are to determine the PBL height, the momentum, energy and matter fluxes ... -
Atmospheric Circulation Response to Short-Term Arctic Warming in an Idealized Model
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Recent Arctic sea ice loss in fall has been posited to drive midlatitude circulation changes into winter and even spring. Past work has shown that sea ice loss can indeed trigger a weakening of the stratospheric polar ... -
Atmospheric icing and meteorological variables: Full scale experiment and testing of models

Atmospheric response to removal of Southern Hemisphere sea ice - a model study
(Master thesis, 2010-06-01)The atmospheric response to the removal of Southern Hemisphere sea ice is studied using the ICTP AGCM (SPEEDY) model with an uncoupled ocean. The results show large increases in surface heat flux from the ocean to the ... -
Atmospheric response to zonally averaged sea surface temperatures in the North Atlantic - a model study
(Master thesis, 2008-05-29)A less dynamically active ocean will most likely lead to a more zonal sea surface temperature (SST) distribution. In order to identify if, and how such an effect affects the atmospheric variability, idealized experiments ... -
Atmospheric signature of the Agulhas current
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Western boundary currents play an important role in the climate system by transporting heat poleward and releasing it to the atmosphere. While their influence on extratropical storms and oceanic rainfall is becoming ... -
Atmospheric-driven state transfer of shore-fast ice in the northeastern Kara Sea
(Journal article, 2005-09-21)Frequencies of observed occurrences of shore-fast ice in the northeastern Kara Sea for each month during 1953–1990 reveal a multimodality of shore-fast ice extent in late winter and spring. The fast ice extent exhibits ... -
Automated Measurements of Whitecaps on the Ocean Surface from a Buoy-Mounted Camera
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-12)We quantify the percentage of sea surface covered by whitecaps from images taken by a non-stationary camera mounted on a moored buoy using an Adaptive Thresholding Segmentation (ATS) method and an Iterative Between Class ... -
Autonomous Ocean Turbulence Measurements Using Shear Probes on a Moored Instrument
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-02)An internally recording, autonomous instrument has been tested for measurements of ocean turbulence from a mooring line. Measurements were made at a single level in the water column, but for an extended period of time, at ... -
Avvik mellom estimert og faktisk energiproduksjon for småkraftverk
(Master thesis, 2016-06-01)I denne oppgaven har jeg sett på årsakene til avviket mellom estimert og faktisk energiproduksjon for tre av kraftverkene som Småkraft AS sammen med grunneier har hatt i drift i 8-9 år. Kraftverkene jeg har sett på er Ytre ...
