On effect of wave breaking on short wind waves
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2004-10)The paper presents an attempt to estimate short wave generation by wave breaking. A breaking wave crest disturbs the surface and generates sub-surface turbulence. The locally disturbed area further disperses and feeds short ... -
On freshwater and the density-driven circulation in the northern seas
(Doctoral thesis, 2017-11-29)The Arctic Ocean and the Nordic Seas are freshening, in part due to anthropogenic climate change. Within the northern seas, seawater density is in part dominated by temperature, and in part by salinity. This reflects on ... -
On Mixed Wind-Sea/Swell Conditions in the Open Ocean : Model and Radar-Observations
(Master thesis, 2005) -
On radar imaging of current features: 1. Model and comparison with observations
(Journal article, 2005-07-22)A new radar imaging model of ocean current features is proposed. The simulated normalized radar cross section (NRCS) takes into account scattering from ‘‘regular’’ surfaces (by means of resonant Bragg scattering and specular ... -
On radar imaging of current features: 2. Mesoscale eddy and current front detection
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2005-07-22)The surface signatures of meandering fronts and eddies have been regularly observed and documented in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. Wave-current interactions, the suppression of short wind waves by natural film, ... -
On Stochastic Reduced-Order and LES-based Models of Offshore Wind Turbine Wakes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)In this paper, the primary objective is to investigate flow structures in the wake of wind turbines based on applying a truncated Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) approach. This scheme decomposes the three-dimensional ... -
On the Dynamics and Water Mass Transformation of a Boundary Current Connecting Alpha and Beta Oceans
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-10-19)A subpolar marginal sea, like the Nordic seas, is a transition zone between the temperature-stratified subtropics (the alpha ocean) and the salinity-stratified polar regions (the beta ocean). An inflow of Atlantic Water ... -
On the effect of climate trends in coastal density on deep water renewal frequency in sill fjords—A statistical approach
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The basin water of a sill fjord is renewed intermittently, when the density of the water at sill level in the ocean outside the fjord is high enough for it to sink down to the bottom of the fjord. How often the basin water ... -
On the effect of nocturnal radiation fog on the development of the daytime convective boundary layer: A large-eddy simulation study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The potential effect of failing to predict nocturnal deep radiation fog on the development of the daytime convective boundary layer (CBL) is studied using large-eddy simulations. Typical spring and autumn conditions for ... -
On the effect of topography and wind on warm water inflow— An idealized study of the southern Weddell Sea continental shelf system
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-03)An idealized eddy-resolving numerical model, with topographic features common to the southern Weddell Sea, is constructed to study mechanisms through which warm deep water enters a wide continental shelf with a trough. The ... -
On the Freshwater Transport in the Fram Strait
(Doctoral thesis, 2023-11-03)Ferskvann fra Arktisk er en nøkkelparameter i det globale klimasystemet. Arktisk ferskvann har sin opprinnelse fra nedbør eller havis-smelting, og konsentrasjonen av det i havet varierer på flere tidsskalaer. Økningen i ... -
On the future of Argo: A global, full-depth, multi-disciplinary array
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-08-02)The Argo Program has been implemented and sustained for almost two decades, as a global array of about 4000 profiling floats. Argo provides continuous observations of ocean temperature and salinity versus pressure, from ... -

On the Groupiness and Intermittency of Oceanic Whitecaps
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The enhancement of wave breaking activity during wave group passage is investigated using coherent field observations of the instantaneous sea surface elevation and whitecap coverage from platform-based stereo video ... -
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 Influence of Sea Surface Temperature distributions on the Development of Extratropical Cyclones
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The sea surface temperature (SST) distribution can modulate the development of extratropical cyclones through sensible and latent heat fluxes. However, the direct and indirect effects of these surface fluxes, and thus the ... -
On the Influence of Sea Surface Temperatures on Cyclone Characteristics in the Gulf Stream and Kuroshio Region
(Doctoral thesis, 2021-01-29)The Gulf Stream and the Kuroshio are the western boundary currents in the North Atlantic and North Pacific, respectively and are associated with maxima in midlatitude precipitation and air-sea heat exchange in the midlatitudes. ... -
On the Influence of Small-Scale Topography on Dense Plumes, with a Special Focus on the Filchner Overflow Plume
(Doctoral thesis, 2007-10-05) -
On the link between cold fronts and hail in Switzerland
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-05)Hail is the costliest atmospheric hazard in Switzerland, causing substantial damage to agriculture, cars and buildings every year. In this study, a 12-year statistic of objectively identified cold fronts and a radar-based ... -
On the modulation of the periodicity of the Faroe Bank Channel overflow instabilities
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-10-26)The Faroe Bank Channel (FBC) is one of the ma- jor pathways where dense, cold water formed in the Nordic Seas flows southward as a bottom-attached energetic plume towards the North Atlantic. The plume region downstream of ...
