Characterization of Wind-Sea- and Swell-Induced Wave Energy along the Norwegian Coast
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The necessity to reduce CO2 emissions in combination with the rising energy demand worldwide makes the extensive use of renewable energy sources increasingly important. To that end, countries with long coastlines, such as ... -
Characterizing Atlantic interhemispheric teleconnection established by South American monsoon in austral summer
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)This study aims to characterize the interhemispheric teleconnection pattern, which is established by the South America (SA) summer monsoon over the Atlantic Ocean during January and February, and referred it as the Atlantic ... -
Characterizing the convective boundary layer with wind-profiling and scanning Doppler lidar
(Doctoral thesis, 2024-04-22)Konveksjon har stor innvirkning på strukturen og utviklingen av det atmosfæriske grenselaget. Det er imidlertid utfordrende å måle de karakteristiske lengde- og tidsskalaene ved hjelp av konvensjonelle meteorologiske ... -
ChemicalDrift 1.0: an open-source Lagrangian chemical-fate and transport model for organic aquatic pollutants
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)A new model for transport and fate of chemicals in the aquatic environment is presented. The tool, named ChemicalDrift, is integrated into the open-source Lagrangian framework OpenDrift and is hereby presented for organic ... -
Circulation along the northern slope of the Greenland-Scotland Ridge
(Doctoral thesis, 2020-12-11)The Greenland-Scotland Ridge separates the subpolar North Atlantic from the Nordic Seas and constrains the flow of the upper and lower branches of the northern extremity of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation ... -
Circulation and exchange of water masses on the Faroe Shelf and the impact on the Shelf ecosystem
(Doctoral thesis, 2009-02-11)The findings in this work can be listed as follows: FSW: Based on CTD data, the FSW is found to be relatively vertically homogeneous through-out the year inside the 100 m depth contour. Temperature measurements at coastal ... -
Circulation and Ocean Driven Glacial Melting in a Greenland Fjord
(Master thesis, 2017-11-20)The Nioghalvfjerdsbræ (79NG) is a floating ice tongue on Northeast Greenland draining a large part of the Greenland Ice Sheet. New hydrographic observations show that Atlantic Water (AW, T > 0 °C, S > 34.3 psu) recirculates ... -
Circulation and transformation of Atlantic and Arctic water masses in climate models
(Doctoral thesis, 2011-12-09)Ocean heat transport and associated heat loss to the atmosphere contributes significantly to the anomalously mild climate of northwestern Europe and its variability. In this thesis, the circulation and transformation of ... -
Circulation and water masses beneath the northern Ronne Ice Shelf, Antarctica
(Journal article, 2004-12-14)We present oceanographic data from beneath the northern Ronne Ice Shelf. The data were collected during the austral summer of 2002–2003 from four sites located near the ice front in the Ronne Depression. They consist of ... -
Circulation features in the northern North Atlantic Ocean inferred from simulated radioactive tracers
(Doctoral thesis, 2008-03-12) -
The circulation of the Norwegian Sea- An investigation from space and ocean
(Doctoral thesis, 2014-01-10)The Norwegian Sea circulation plays a key role in maintaining the mild climate of the northwestern Europe via the transport of warm Atlantic Water pole-ward. The first paper addresses the advective currents connecting the ... -
Climate based multi-year predictions of the Barents Sea cod stock.
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-10-24)Predicting fish stock variations on interannual to decadal time scales is one of the major issues in fisheries science and management. Although the field of marine ecological predictions is still in its infancy, it is ... -
Climate change and safe design of ship structures
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-02)The paper addresses projected changes of wave climate in the North Atlantic and their impact on the safe design of ships, with a particular focus given on associated uncertainties. The Fifth Assessment Report of the ... -
Climate change in the North – past, present and future
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2008)The Nordic countries have produced famous polar explorers and researchers who have generated climate research schools at a variety of locations. The dependence of these countries with respect to the lifelihood of their ... -
Climate controlled mechanisms of subpolar North Atlantic carbon uptake
(Doctoral thesis, 2017-06-27)The North Atlantic is a key region for global climate variability. Earlier studies have shown changes in the large-scale circulation, air-sea heat and freshwater fluxes and the carbon cycle in the North Atlantic in relation ... -
Climate forcing of summer carbon drawdown in the subpolar North Atlantic
(Master thesis, 2015-08-28)This thesis present a 9-year long time series of surface seawater fCO2 data obtained aboard the MV Nuka Arctica. The Nuka Arctica provide full seasonal fCO2 measurements which give a good picture of the fCO2 variability ... -
Climatic mean and interannual variation of northern Barents Sea water mass distribution and circulation. A combined study of ROMS, current and hydrography observations
(Master thesis, 2008-06-02)Evaluating current measurements, hydrography observations and model (ROMS) results of the northern Barents Sea, water mass distribution and circulation is investigated. Water mass exchange with the Arctic Ocean is linked ... -
Climatology of polar lows impacting Norway
(Master thesis, 2016-06-01)Polar lows (PLs), mesoscale cyclones in high latitudes, impacting Norway are studied in this thesis. A climatology of PLs in the Nordic seas for the period 1979-2015 is made, by applying a cyclone detection and tracking ... -
