      Tjiputra, Jerry; Negrel, Jean; Olsen, Are (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Robust detection of anthropogenic climate change is crucial to: (i) improve our understanding of Earth system responses to external forcing, (ii) reduce uncertainty in future climate projections, and (iii) develop efficient ...
    • Estimation of groundwater storage loss for the Indian Ganga Basin using multiple lines of evidence 

      Janardhanan, Sreekanth; Nair, Akhilesh Sivaraman; Indu, J.; Pagendam, Dan; Kaushika, G.S. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      We used remote sensing data, field observations and numerical groundwater modelling to investigate long-term groundwater storage losses in the regional aquifer of the Ganga Basin in India. This comprised trend analysis for ...
    • Key Role of the Ocean Western Boundary currents in shaping the Northern Hemisphere climate 

      Omrani, Nour-Eddine; Ogawa, Fumiaki; Nakamura, Hisashi; Keenlyside, Noel; Lubis, Sandro W.; Matthes, Katja (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      The individual impact of North Atlantic and Pacific Ocean Western Boundary Currents (OWBCs) on the tropospheric circulation has recently been studied in depth. However, their simultaneous role in shaping the hemisphere-scale ...
    • Leads in Arctic pack ice enable early phytoplankton blooms below snow-covered sea ice 

      Assmy, Philipp; Fernández-Méndez, Mar; Duarte, Pedro; Meyer, Amelie; Randelhoff, Achim; Mundy, Christopher John; Olsen, Lasse; Kauko, Hanna M.; Bailey, Allison; Chierici, Melissa; Cohen, Lana; Doulgeris, Anthony Paul; Ehn, Jens K.; Fransson, Agneta; Gerland, Sebastian; Hop, Haakon; Hudson, Stephen R.; Hughes, Nick; Itkin, Polona; Johnsen, Geir; King, Jennifer A.; Koch, Boris P.; Koenig, Zoe; Kwasniewski, Slawomir; Laney, Samuel R.; Nikolaus, Marcel; Pavlov, Alexey K.; Polashenski, Christopher M.; Provost, Christine; Rösel, Anja; Sandbu, Marthe; Spreen, Gunnar; Smedsrud, Lars H.; Sundfjord, Arild; Taskjelle, Torbjørn; Tatarek, Agnieszka; Wiktor, Josef; Wagner, Penelope Mae; Wold, Anette; Steen, Harald; Granskog, Mats A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-01-19)
      The Arctic icescape is rapidly transforming from a thicker multiyear ice cover to a thinner and largely seasonal first-year ice cover with significant consequences for Arctic primary production. One critical challenge is ...
    • North Atlantic ocean circulation and decadal sea level change during the Altimetry era 

      Chafik, Leon Martin; Nilsen, Jan Even Øie; Dangendorf, Sönke; Reverdin, Gilles; Frederikse, Thomas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-01-31)
      Regional sea-level rise is characterized by decadal acceleration and deceleration periods that typically stem from oceanic climate variability. Here, we investigate decadal sea-level trends during the altimetry era and pin ...
    • Potential changes in the connectivity of marine protected areas driven by extreme ocean warming 

      Lima, Luciana S.; Gherardi, Douglas Francisco Marcolino; Pezzi, Luciano P.; Goncalves Dos Passos, Leilane; Kajiya Endo, Clarissa Akemi; Quimbayo, Juan Pablo (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Projected future climate scenarios anticipate a warmer tropical ocean and changes in surface currents that will likely influence the survival of marine organisms and the connectivity of marine protected areas (MPAs) networks. ...
    • Surface ocean pH and buffer capacity: past, present and future 

      Jiang, Li-qing; Carter, Brendan R; Feely, Richard A; Lauvset, Siv Kari; Olsen, Are (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-12-09)
      The ocean’s chemistry is changing due to the uptake of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2). This phenomenon, commonly referred to as “Ocean Acidification”, is endangering coral reefs and the broader marine ecosystems. In ...
    • Trapped tidal currents generate freely propagating internal waves at the Arctic continental slope 

      Baumann, Till Martin; Fer, Ilker (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Energetic tidal currents in the Arctic play an important role in local mixing processes, but they are primarily confined to the shelves and continental slopes due to topographic trapping north of their critical latitude. ...
