230Th Normalization: New Insights on an Essential Tool for Quantifying Sedimentary Fluxes in the Modern and Quaternary Ocean
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-01)230Th normalization is a valuable paleoceanographic tool for reconstructing high‐resolution sediment fluxes during the late Pleistocene (last ~500,000 years). As its application has expanded to ever more diverse marine ... -
3D mechanical and thermal analysis of an Aluminium piston for a high-speed Diesel laboratory engine
(Master thesis, 2018-06-22)A cast aluminium piston of a single cylinder Petter Diesel engine is modelled using the finite element method. The engine is intended to be supercharged, which will increase the thermal loading on the piston, and so the ... -
The 3 km Norwegian reanalysis (NORA3) – a validation of offshore wind resources in the North Sea and the Norwegian Sea
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)We validate a new high-resolution (3 km) numerical mesoscale weather simulation for offshore wind power purposes for the time period 2004–2016 for the North Sea and the Norwegian Sea. The 3 km Norwegian reanalysis (NORA3) ... -
A 4.5 Year‐Long Record of Svalbard Water Vapor Isotopic Composition Documents Winter Air Mass Origin
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)From May 2014 to September 2018, a laser spectrometer analyzer provided a 4.5 years continuous record of water vapor isotopic composition at Ny-Ålesund (8 m above sea level, a.s.l.), Svalbard. It corresponds to the longest ... -
A comparative study of Doubly Fed Asynchronous and Synchronous Generators in a wind energy perspective
(Master thesis, 2019-06-15)Dette masterstudiet fokuserer på analyse av vindkraft-generatorer. Det er et sammenligningsstudie av den dobbel-matede asynkrongeneratoren og synkrongeneratorer, hvor effektivitet, driftsforhold og økonomiske perspektiv ... -
A NAWDEX case study: Water vapor transport in atmospheric rivers and quantifying hand over of moisture between extratropical cyclones
(Master thesis, 2020-10-31)Meridional water vapor transport occurs predominantly within the warm sector of extratropical cyclones. The warm sector is seperated by the cyclone's warm front ahead, and the cold front behind. In this region the warm ... -
Advances in understanding and parameterization of small-scalephysical processes in the marine Arctic climate system: a review
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-09-10)The Arctic climate system includes numerous highly interactive small-scale physical processes in the atmosphere, sea ice, and ocean. During and since the International Polar Year 2007–2009, significant advances have been ... -
Aerodynamic study of a suspension bridge deck by CFD simulations, wind tunnel tests and full-scale observations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Assessing the aerodynamic characteristics of long-span bridges is fundamental for their design. Depending on the terrain complexity and local wind conditions, episodes of large angles of attack (AoA) of 15° may be observed. ... -
Air-Sea Interaction in Biophysical Modeling: With focus on Northeast Arctic Cod
(Doctoral thesis, 2019-02-15)The focus of this thesis is on upper ocean dynamics and the interactions between the atmosphere and the oceans in relation to early life stages of Northeast Arctic cod. The main spawning sites of Northeast Arctic cod are ... -
Air-Sea Interactions during Cold Air Outbreaks in a coupled Mixed Layer Model
(Master thesis, 2019-06-19)Cold air outbreaks play a crucial role in the air-sea heat exchange in high latitudes. To explore the sensitivity to ocean coupling, the role of latent heating and the sensitivity to sea ice distributions in cold air ... -
