Acidification of the Nordic Seas
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Due to low calcium carbonate saturation states, and winter mixing that brings anthropogenic carbon to the deep ocean, the Nordic Seas and their cold-water corals are vulnerable to ocean acidification. Here, we present a ... -
Adaptive Covariance Hybridization for the Assimilation of SST Observations Within a Coupled Earth System Reanalysis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Ensemble data assimilation methods, such as the Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF), are well suited for climate reanalysis because they feature flow-dependent covariance. However, because Earth System Models are heavy ... -
Addressing the observational gap over heterogeneous land surfaces in the lower atmospheric boundary layer by multi-copter temperature and humidity profile measurements
(Master thesis, 2024-06-03)The effects of surface heterogeneity on the atmospheric boundary layer are still poorly understood and thus not appropriately parameterized in numerical weather prediction models. The complexity of types, shapes, and scales ... -
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 ... -
Advancing annual global mean surface temperature prediction to 2 months lead using physics based strategy
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Interannual global mean surface temperature (GMST) forecast provides critical insights into the economic and societal implications of climate variability. The pronounced GMST elevation in 2023–2024 indicates that the Earth ... -
Advancing the Capabilities of Numerical Weather Prediction - On the Utility of Individual Tendency Output
(Doctoral thesis, 2022-11-18)Parametrisering i numeriske værmodeller representerer finskalaprosesser i atmosfæren på subgridnivå. Disse atmosfæriske prosessene inkluderer turbulens, stråling og dråpeformasjon i skyer. Enhver parametrisering er en ... -
Aerodynamic simulations of offshore wind turbines by using a potential flow approach
(Master thesis, 2024-06-03)This thesis explores the aerodynamic performance of floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) using a potential flow approach. The primary objective is to understand how the output power of an FOWT is affected by imposing different ... -
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 ... -
Airborne Field Measurements and Model Simulations of Boundary Layer Properties over the Iceland Sea
(Master thesis, 2019-06-28)The spatial and temporal distributions of a cold air outbreak (CAO) event over the Iceland- and southern Greenland Seas have been investigated during the IcelandGreenland Seas project (IGP) in February and March 2018. This ... -
Airborne observations of the Eyjafjalla volcano ash cloud over Europe during air space closure in April and May 2010
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-03-11)Airborne lidar and in-situ measurements of aerosols and trace gases were performed in volcanic ash plumes over Europe between Southern Germany and Iceland with the Falcon aircraft during the eruption period of the Eyjafjalla ... -
Aircraft-based observations and high-resolution simulations of an Icelandic dust storm
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-11-16)The first aircraft-based observations of an Icelandic dust storm are presented. The measurements were carried out over the ocean near Iceland's south coast in February 2007. This dust event occurred in conjunction with an ... -
Akvakultur og små vindturbinar: Eit moglegheitsstudie av i kva grad små vindturbinar kan dekkje energiforbruket ved norske oppdrettsanlegg
(Master thesis, 2018-06-21)The world’s population is growing rapidly, and it will become necessary, to a greater extent, to use the ocean for harvesting food. Norway is the largest exporter of salmon in the world. Prognosis says that aquaculture in ... -
Along‐stream, seasonal, and interannual variability of the North Icelandic Irminger Current and East Icelandic Current around Iceland
