Meteorological conditions and cloud effects on surface radiation balance near Helheim glacier and Jakobshavn isbræ (Greenland)using ground-based observations.
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The surface radiation budget is an essential component of the total energy exchange between the atmosphere and the Earth’s surface. Measurements of radiative fluxes near/on ice surfaces are sparse in the polar regions, ... -
Meteorological observations in tall masts for the mapping of atmospheric flow in Norwegian fjords
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Since 2014, 11 tall meteorological masts have been erected in coastal areas of mid-Norway in order to provide observational data for a detailed description of the wind conditions at several potential fjord crossing sites. ... -
Metrics of the Hadley circulation strength and associated circulation trends
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)This study compares trends in the Hadley cell (HC) strength using different metrics applied to the ECMWF ERA5 and ERA-Interim reanalyses for the period 1979–2018. The HC strength is commonly evaluated by metrics derived ... -
Metrics to assess the mitigation of global warming by carbon capture and storage in the ocean and in geological reservoirs
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2004-09-18)Different metrics to assess mitigation of global warming by carbon capture and storage are discussed. The climatic impact of capturing 30% of the anthropogenic carbon emission and its storage in the ocean or in geological ... -
Mg/Ca ratios in the planktonic foraminifer Neogloboquadrina pachyderma (sinistral) in the northern North Atlantic/Nordic Seas
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2006-06-15)In core top samples in the Nordic Seas, Mg/Ca ratios of N. pachyderma (sin.) are generally consistent with previous high-latitude calibration data but do not reflect the modern calcification temperature gradient from 2ºC ... -
Microstructure Measurements from an Underwater Glider in the Turbulent Faroe Bank Channel Overflow
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-05)Measurements of ocean microstructure are made in the turbulent Faroe Bank Channel overflow using a turbulence instrument attached to an underwater glider. Dissipation rate of turbulent kinetic energy « is measured using ... -
Microstructure measurements using a glider in the Faroe Bank Channel Overflow
(Master thesis, 2013-05-30)The application of turbulence instrumentation on underwater gliders is addressed, and two methods for glider-inferred dissipation rates of turbulent kinetic energy are evaluated against a ship-based vertical microstructure ... -
Mind the gap – Relevant design for laboratory oil exposure of fish as informed by a numerical impact assessment model
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Laboratory experiments provide knowledge of species-specific effects thresholds that are used to parameterize impact assessment models of oil contamination on marine ecosystems. Such experiments typically place individuals ... -
Mitigating climate biases in the midlatitude North Atlantic by increasing model resolution: SST gradients and their relation to blocking and the jet
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Starting to resolve the oceanic mesoscale in climate models is a step change in model fidelity. This study examines how certain obstinate biases in the midlatitude North Atlantic respond to increasing resolution (from 1° ... -
Mitigation of offshore wind power intermittency by interconnection of production sites
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)This study uses a unique set of hourly wind speed data observed over a period of 16 years to quantify the potential of collective offshore wind power production. We address the well-known intermittency problem of wind power ... -
Mixing in the stratified interface of the Faroe Bank Channel overflow: the role of transverse circulation and internal waves
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-07)The overflow of cold water across the Faroe Bank Channel sill is a significant volume flux of dense water to the North Atlantic Ocean. Using observations of hydrography, current and microstructure from a 1 week cruise and ... -
