Midlatitude Oceanic Fronts Strengthen the Hydrological Cycle Between Cyclones and Anticyclones
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The Kuroshio-Oyashio Extension and Gulf Stream oceanic frontal zones are characterized by enhanced activity of synoptic-scale cyclones and anticyclones and vigorous air-sea heat and moisture exchange in the cold season. ... -
Miljøpåvirkninger fra produksjon og bruk av hydrogen i maritim transport
(Master thesis, 2020-07-01)I denne studien er hydrogen foreslått som et alternativt drivstoff for maritim transport. Miljøpåvirkninger fra å erstatte konvensjonelle fossile brensler i sjøtransport med hydrogen vurderes ved å utføre en livssyklusvurdering ... -
Mind the gap – Relevant design for laboratory oil exposure of fish as informed by a numerical impact assessment model
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Laboratory experiments provide knowledge of species-specific effects thresholds that are used to parameterize impact assessment models of oil contamination on marine ecosystems. Such experiments typically place individuals ... -
Mitigating climate biases in the midlatitude North Atlantic by increasing model resolution: SST gradients and their relation to blocking and the jet
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Starting to resolve the oceanic mesoscale in climate models is a step change in model fidelity. This study examines how certain obstinate biases in the midlatitude North Atlantic respond to increasing resolution (from 1° ... -
Mitigation of offshore wind power intermittency by interconnection of production sites
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)This study uses a unique set of hourly wind speed data observed over a period of 16 years to quantify the potential of collective offshore wind power production. We address the well-known intermittency problem of wind power ... -
Mixing in the stratified interface of the Faroe Bank Channel overflow: the role of transverse circulation and internal waves
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-07)The overflow of cold water across the Faroe Bank Channel sill is a significant volume flux of dense water to the North Atlantic Ocean. Using observations of hydrography, current and microstructure from a 1 week cruise and ... -
Mixing of the Storfjorden overflow (Svalbard Archipelago) inferred from denstity overturns
(Journal article, 2004-01-03)Observations were made of the dense overflow from Storfjorden from a survey conducted at closely spaced stations in August 2002. The field data set consists of conventional conductivity-temperature-depth profiles and ... -
Mixing processes in the changing Arctic Ocean
(Doctoral thesis, 2017-08-11)The Arctic has undergone tremendous changes the last decades, including a strong decline in sea ice extent and thickness. The rapid pace of Arctic changes relative to the global changes are known as Arctic amplification, ... -
Mixing rates and vertical heat fluxes north of Svalbard from Arctic winter to spring
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-06)Mixing and heat flux rates collected in the Eurasian Basin north of Svalbard during the N-ICE2015 drift expedition are presented. The observations cover the deep Nansen Basin, the Svalbard continental slope, and the shallow ... -
A model study of the seasonal and long-term North Atlantic surface pCO(2) variability
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-03-05)A coupled biogeochemical-physical ocean model is used to study the seasonal and long–term variations of surface pCO2 in the North Atlantic Ocean. The model agrees well with recent underway pCO2 observations from the Surface ... -
Model-simulated hydroclimate in the East Asian summer monsoon region during past and future climate: a pilot study with a moisture source perspective
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Here we present a pilot study of the sensitivity of summer monsoon precipitation in the Yangtze River Valley (YRV; 110–122∘ E and 27–33∘ N, eastern China) to climatic boundary conditions from the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), ... -
Modeling and stability analysis of a sliding bead from a problem-based learning perspective
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)In this work, we adopt a problem-based learning approach to develop an integrative bachelor project that relies on competences acquired from basic courses in mathematics, mechanics and computation. In this sense, the ... -
Modeling coastal circulation in Norway using a high-resolution 4D-Var ocean assimilation system
(Doctoral thesis, 2017-06-23)The circulation along the Norwegian coast is characterized by many transient smallscale features such as eddies and meanders that are challenging to reproduce by means of numerical modeling. In this thesis I investigate ... -
Modeling ocean processes below Fimbulisen, Antarctica
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2006-01-18)Model simulations of circulation and melting beneath Fimbulisen, Antarctica, obtained using an isopycnic coordinate ocean model, are presented. Model results compare well with available observations of currents and hydrography ... -
