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 ... -
On the nature of the factors that control spring bloom development at the entrance to the Barents Sea and their interannual variability
(Journal article, 2003-12)Analysis of data obtained by the Institute of Marine Research, Norway, at their regular surveys of the Fugløya-Bjørnøya section, between the northern tip of Norway and Bear Island, has allowed for an identification of the ... -
On the Nordic Seas’ role in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation
(Doctoral thesis, 2007-06-27)In the present climate, the North Atlantic thermohaline circulation (THC) plays a fundamental role in the global transport of heat at high latitudes. The response of the North Atlantic Ocean-Nordic Seas THC to surface ... -
On the Origins of Open Ocean Oxygen Minimum Zones
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Recent work suggests that Oxygen Minimum Zones (OMZs) are sustained by the supply of oxygen-poor waters rather than the export of organic matter from the local surface layer and its subsequent remineralization inside OMZs. ... -
On the potential of 230Th, 231Pa, and 10Be for marine rain ratio determinations: A modeling study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2006-06-16)The global distributions of the radionuclides 230Th, 231Pa, and 10Be are simulated with a biogeochemical ocean general circulation model. Sensitivity experiments for changes in the composition of the particle composition ... -
On the recent time history and forcing of the inflow of Atlantic Water to the Arctic Mediterranean
(Extended Abstract for The ACIA International Scientific Symposium on Climate Change in the Arctic, Conference lecture, 2004) -
On the seasonal signal of the Filchner overflow, Weddell Sea, Antarctica
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)The cold ice shelf water (ISW) that formed below the Filchner–Ronne Ice Shelf in the southwestern Weddell Sea, Antarctica, escapes the ice shelf cavity through the Filchner Depression and spills over its sill at a rate of ... -
On the use of a new mathematical formulation for loads- and motion analysis of a mooring line
(Master thesis, 2023-11-20)This master thesis investigates the use of a new mathematical model for calculating loads and dynamic motion of a mooring line. Current industry standard mooring analysis tools uses a lumped parameter modelling approach. ... -
