On the use of dual co-polarized radar data to derive a sea surface Doppler model-part 1: Approach
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)This article proposes a Doppler velocity (DV) model based on dual co-polarized (co-pol) decomposition of a normalized radar cross section of an ocean surface on polarized Bragg scattering and nonpolarized (NP) radar returns ... -
Circulation responses to surface heating and implications for polar amplification
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)A seminal study by Hoskins and Karoly (1981) explored the atmospheric circulation response to tropospheric heating perturbations at low latitudes and midlatitudes. Here we revisit and extend their study by investigating ... -
Relative Impacts of Sea Ice Loss and Atmospheric Internal Variability on the Winter Arctic to East Asian Surface Air Temperature Based on Large-Ensemble Simulations with NorESM2
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)To quantify the relative contributions of Arctic sea ice and unforced atmospheric internal variability to the “warm Arctic, cold East Asia” (WACE) teleconnection, this study analyses three sets of large-ensemble simulations ... -
Warm Advection as a Cause for Extreme Heat Event in North China
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Extreme heat events (EHEs) often hit North China, resulting in significant losses. The devastating EHE in the 1743 summer, marked as the highest temperature in the past 300 years, led to ∼11,000 fatalities. These historical ... -
The Eurasian Arctic Ocean along the MOSAiC drift in 2019–2020: An interdisciplinary perspective on physical properties and processes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC, 2019–2020), a year-long drift with the Arctic sea ice, has provided the scientific community with an unprecedented, multidisciplinary ... -
Intercomparison of initialization methods for seasonal-to-decadal climate predictions with the NorCPM
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Initialization is essential for accurate seasonal-to-decadal (S2D) climate predictions. The initialization schemes used differ on the component initialized, the Data Assimilation method, or the technique. We compare five ... -
Coupled data assimilation for climate prediction: a focus on ocean-atmosphere coupling
(Doctoral thesis, 2024-10-17)Klimavarslingen fra sesong til flere ti år kan hjelpe industri og næringsliv i energi sektor, bærekraftig matproduksjonm til å ta avgjørelser og forbedre håndtering av klimarisiko. Havet spiller en sentral rolle i å utvikle ... -
An Assessment of CO2 Storage and Sea-Air Fluxes for the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea Between 1985 and 2018
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)As part of the second phase of the Regional Carbon Cycle Assessment and Processes project (RECCAP2), we present an assessment of the carbon cycle of the Atlantic Ocean, including the Mediterranean Sea, between 1985 and ... -
In the Wake of Deeper Convection: Nonsteady State Anthropogenic Carbon in the Greenland Sea
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)We evaluate changes in dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) in the Greenland Sea between 2002 and 2016, a period characterized by increasing convection depths. We find a mid-depth maximum in anthropogenic carbon (Cant) ... -
Simulated Abrupt Shifts in Aerobic Habitats of Marine Species in the Past, Present, and Future
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The physiological tolerances of marine species toward ambient temperature and oxygen can jointly be evaluated in a single metric: the metabolic index. Changes therein characterize a changing aerobic habitat tailored to ... -
The Troll Observing Network (TONe): plugging observation holes in Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Understanding how Antarctica is changing and how these changes influence the rest of the Earth is fundamental to the future robustness of human society. Strengthening our understanding of these changes and their implications ... -
Observed Seasonal Evolution of the Antarctic Slope Current System off the Coast of Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The access of heat to the Antarctic ice shelf cavities is regulated by the Antarctic Slope Front, separating relatively warm offshore water masses from cold water masses on the continental slope and inside the cavity. ... -
Implementation of a Simple Actuator Disk for Large-Eddy Simulation in the Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF-SADLES v1.2) for wind turbine wake simulation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)In this study, we present the development of a Simple Actuator Disk model for Large-Eddy Simulation (SADLES), implemented within the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model, which is widely used in atmospheric research. ... -
Investigating voltage ripple effects in PEM electrolysis: test protocol development and experimental characterisation
(Master thesis, 2024-08-01)PEM water electrolysis is a key technology for producing high-purity hydrogen with a compact design. However, the widespread adoption of PEM electrolysers faces challenges such as the high cost associated with the power ... -
More Frequent Abrupt Marine Environmental Changes Expected
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)We quantify an elevated occurrence of abrupt changes in ocean environmental conditions under human-induced climate forcing using Earth system model output through a novel analysis method that compares the temporal evolution ... -
Bifurcation Points for Tropical Cyclone Genesis and Intensification in Sheared and Dry Environments
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The combination of moderate vertical wind shear (VWS) and dry environments can produce the most uncertain scenarios for tropical cyclone (TC) genesis and intensification. We investigated the sources of increased uncertainty ... -
