How northern freshwater input can stabilise thermohaline circulation
Lambert, Erwin; Eldevik, Tor; Haugan, Peter M. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)The North Atlantic thermohaline circulation (THC) carries heat and salt towards the Arctic. This circulation is partly sustained by buoyancy loss and is generally believed to be inhibited by northern freshwater input as ... -
On freshwater and the density-driven circulation in the northern seas
Lambert, Erwin (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 the Dynamics and Water Mass Transformation of a Boundary Current Connecting Alpha and Beta Oceans
Lambert, Erwin; Eldevik, Tor; Spall, Michael A. (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 ... -
Tracing the Imprint of River Runoff Variability on Arctic Water Mass Transformation
Lambert, Erwin; Nummelin, Aleksi; Pemberton, Per; Ilicak, Mehmet (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-01-14)The Arctic Ocean receives a net freshwater input from land and from the atmosphere. This flux of freshwater, along with net surface heat loss, acts to transform the water mass properties of inflowing Atlantic and Pacific ...
