• Arctic tidal current atlas 

      Baumann, Till Martin; Polyakov, Igor V.; Padman, Laurie; Danielson, Seth L.; Fer, Ilker; Janout, Markus; Williams, William; Pnyushkov, Andrey V. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Tidal and wind-driven near-inertial currents play a vital role in the changing Arctic climate and the marine ecosystems. We compiled 429 available moored current observations taken over the last two decades throughout the ...
    • Eddies and the Distribution of Eddy Kinetic Energy in the Arctic Ocean 

      von Appen, Wilken-Jon; Baumann, Till Martin; Janout, Markus; Koldunov, Nicolay; Lenn, Yueng-Djern; Pickart, R.S.; Scott, Robert B.; Wang, Qiang (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Mesoscale eddies are important to many aspects of the dynamics of the Arctic Ocean. Among others, they maintain the halocline and interact with the Atlantic Water circumpolar boundary current through lateral eddy fluxes ...
    • Exceptionally Warm and Prolonged Flow of Warm Deep Water Toward the Filchner‐Ronne Ice Shelf in 2017 

      Ryan, Svenja; Hellmer, Hartmut H.; Janout, Markus; Darelius, Elin Maria K.; Schröder, Michael; Vignes, Lucie (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      The Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf, fringing the southern Weddell Sea, is Antarctica's second largest ice shelf. At present, basal melt rates are low due to active dense water formation; however, model projections suggest a ...
    • A full year of turbulence measurements from a drift campaign in the Arctic Ocean 2019-2020 

      Schulz, K.; Mohrholz, Volker; Fer, Ilker; Janout, Markus; Hoppmann, Mario; Schaffer, Janin; Koenig, Zoe Charlotte (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Ocean turbulent mixing is a key process in the global climate system, regulating ocean circulation and the uptake and redistribution of heat, carbon, nutrients, oxygen and other tracers. In polar oceans, turbulent heat ...
    • Intensification of Near‐Surface Currents and Shear in the Eastern Arctic Ocean 

      Polyakov, Igor V.; Rippeth, Tom; Fer, Ilker; Baumann, Till Martin; Carmack, Eddy C.; Ivanov, Vladimir V.; Janout, Markus; Padman, Laurie; Pnyushkov, A.V.; Rember, Robert (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      A 15‐year (2004–2018) record of mooring observations from the upper 50 m of the ocean in the eastern Eurasian Basin reveals increased current speeds and vertical shear, associated with an increasing coupling between wind, ...
    • Observational evidence for on-shelf heat transport driven by dense water export in the Weddell Sea 

      Darelius, Elin Maria K.; Daae, Kjersti; Dundas, Vår Iren Hjorth; Fer, Ilker; Hellmer, Hartmut H.; Janout, Markus; Nicholls, Keith W.; Sallée, Jean-Bapiste; Østerhus, Svein (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      The transport of oceanic heat towards the Antarctic continental margin is central to the mass balance of the Antarctic Ice Sheet. Recent modeling efforts challenge our view on where and how the on-shelf heat flux occurs, ...
    • Sudden, local temperature increase above the continental slope in the southern Weddell Sea, Antarctica 

      Darelius, Elin Maria K.; Dundas, Vår Iren Hjorth; Janout, Markus; Tippenhauer, Sandra (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Around most of Antarctica, the Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW) shows a warming trend. At the same time, the thermocline is shoaling, thereby increasing the potential for CDW to enter the shallow continental shelves and ...
    • Weakening of Cold Halocline Layer Exposes Sea Ice to Oceanic Heat in the Eastern Arctic Ocean 

      Polyakov, Igor V.; Rippeth, Tom; Fer, Ilker; Alkire, Matthew B.; Carmack, Eddy; Ingvaldsen, Randi Brunvær; Ivanov, Vladimir V.; Janout, Markus; Lind, Sigrid; Padman, Laurie; Pnyushkov, Andrey V.; Rember, Robert (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      A 15-yr duration record of mooring observations from the eastern (>70°E) Eurasian Basin (EB) of the Arctic Ocean is used to show and quantify the recently increased oceanic heat flux from intermediate-depth (~150–900 m) ...
