Aspects on interactions between mid- to high latitude atmospheric circulation and some surface processes
(Doctoral thesis, 2006-06-08)The Arctic is a hot topic in Climate Research. A large number of signs of a warming Arctic Climate have been identified the latest years. This is of major concern in light of the increasing atmospheric content of greenhouse ... -
Assessing the influence of sea surface temperature and arctic sea ice cover on the uncertainty in the boreal winter future climate projections
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)We investigate the uncertainty (i.e., inter-model spread) in future projections of the boreal winter climate, based on the forced response of ten models from the CMIP5 following the RCP8.5 scenario. The uncertainty in the ... -
Assessing the Norwegian Offshore Wind Resources: Climatology, Power Variability and Wind Farm Siting
(Doctoral thesis, 2022-09-09)De norske havvindressursene er fantastiske. Likevel er det ingen operative vindparker i de norske havvområdene. Tatt i betraktning både utslippsmål og forventet økning i elektrisitetsforbruk har regjerningen nå begynt å ... -
Assessing the Sampling Quality of a Low-Tech Low-Budget Volume-Based Rainfall Sampler for Stable Isotope Analysis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-09-27)To better understand the small-scale variability of rainfall and its isotopic composition it is advantageous to utilize rain samplers which are at the same time low-cost, low-tech, robust, and precise with respect to the ... -
Assessment of Atmospheric Reanalyses With Independent Observations in the Weddell Sea, the Antarctic
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Surface layer and upper‐air in situ observations from two research vessel cruises and an ice station in the Weddell Sea from 1992 and 1996 are used to validate four current atmospheric reanalysis products: ERA‐Interim, ... -
An assessment of future extreme precipitation in western Norway using a linear model
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-11-26)A Linear Model (Smith and Barstad, 2004) was used to dynamically downscale Orographic Precipitation over western Norway from twelve General Circulation Model simulations. The GCM simulations come from the A1B emissions ... -
Assessment of wind conditions at a fjord inlet by complementary use of sonic anemometers and lidars
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-12-02)Wind velocity measurement devices based on the remote optical sensing, lidars, are extensively applied in wind energy research and wind farm operation. The present paper demonstrates the relevance and potential of lidar ... -
The Atlantic inflow across the Greenland-Scotland ridge in global climate models (CMIP5)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-05-21)Oceanic heat transport from the North Atlantic to the Arctic through the Nordic Seas is a key component of the climate system that has to be modelled accurately in order to predict, for example, future Arctic sea ice changes ... -
Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation and δ13C Variability During the Last Interglacial
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is thought to be relatively vigorous and stable during Interglacial periods on multimillennial (equilibrium) timescales. However, recent proxy (δ13C benthic) reconstructions ... -
Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation modulates the impacts of Arctic sea ice decline
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-03)The Arctic sea ice cover has been rapidly declining in the last two decades, concurrent with a shift in the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) to its warm phase around 1996/1997. Here we use both observations and model ... -
The Atlantic Multidecadal Variability phase-dependence of teleconnection between the North Atlantic Oscillation in February and the Tibetan Plateau in March
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The Tibetan Plateau (TP), referred to as the “Asian water tower,” contains one of the largest land ice masses on Earth. The local glacier shrinkage and frozen-water storage are strongly affected by variations in surface ... -
Atlantic thermohaline changes and its implications on the carbon cycle during the Last Interglacial
(Doctoral thesis, 2020-06-16)Large and abrupt changes in the Earth’s climate have been recorded in marine records and Greenland ice cores and mostly characterize the last glacial period. These sudden transitions of climate, occurring within a few ... -
Atlantic Water Boundary Current Along the Southern Yermak Plateau, Arctic Ocean
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The major ocean current that carries heat into the Arctic Ocean splits into three main branches of Atlantic Water (AW) and recirculations when it encounters the Yermak Plateau (YP) located north of Svalbard. While the ... -
Atlantic Water Circulation and Properties Northwest of Svalbard During Anomalous Southerly Winds
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Atlantic Water (AW), the main source of heat and salt for the Arctic Ocean, undergoes large transformations (cooling and freshening) north of Svalbard as it flows near the surface above the Yermak Plateau (YP). In September ... -
The Atlantic Water flow along the Vøring Plateau: Detecting frontal structures in oceanic station time series
(Journal article, 2007-01-13)The topographic steering of the baroclinic western branch of the Norwegian Atlantic Current (NwAC) determines the extent of Atlantic Water and location of the Arctic Front in the Nordic Seas. In this paper the geographical ... -
Atlantic Water in the Arctic Ocean - Mechanisms and Impacts
(Doctoral thesis, 2021-08-19)The Arctic Ocean plays a fundamental role in regulating Earth’s climate, and a changing Arctic will affect climate, weather, and life everywhere on the planet. Understanding the fundamental dynamics and mechanisms driving ... -
Atlantic water inflow into the Arctic Ocean: studies of pathways, transport and mixing processes using observations from ships and autonomous underwater vehicles
(Doctoral thesis, 2024-01-23)Nordishavet spiller en viktig rolle i det globale klimasystemet. Produksjon av kaldt vann med høy tetthet, samt frysing av sjøis i Arktis, bidrar til å drive den Atlantiske meridionale omveltningssirkulasjonen og kan påvirke ... -
Atlantic Water Inflow Through the Yermak Pass Branch: Evolution Since 2007
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Thirty-four months (2017–2020) of mooring data were recently obtained at 80.6°N, 7.26°E in the main branch of Atlantic Water inflow to the Arctic, the Yermak Pass Branch. The Yermak Pass Branch was sampled at that same ... -
