Arctic climate change: observed and modelled temperature and sea-ice variability
(Tellus A 56A(4), Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2004-07-09)Changes apparent in the arctic climate system in recent years require evaluation in a century-scale perspective in order to assess the Arctic's response to increasing anthropogenic greenhouse-gas forcing. Here, a new set ... -
Arctic sea ice and climate change - will the sea ice disappear in this century?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2000) -
Frontal-wave cyclogenesis in the North Atlantic –a climatological characterisation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-10)The ambient conditions during cyclogenesis on fronts in the North Atlantic (NA) are characterised climatologically in the ERA-Interim dataset. These ‘secondary’ cyclones, which grow from frontal waves, are typically small ... -
The North Atlantic Oscillation and greenhouse-gas forcing
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2005-02-17)The results of 12 coupled climate models participating in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP2) are compared together with observational data in order to investigate: 1) How the current generation of climate ... -
On the link between cold fronts and hail in Switzerland
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-05)Hail is the costliest atmospheric hazard in Switzerland, causing substantial damage to agriculture, cars and buildings every year. In this study, a 12-year statistic of objectively identified cold fronts and a radar-based ... -
A quantitative description of the West Spitsbergen Current by combining hydrography, altimetry and in-situ current meters
(Master thesis, 2014-06-02)In a warming Arctic Ocean (AO) it is important to study its main source of oceanic heat and salt. Here, seasonal climatological sections of the West Spitsbergen Current (WSC) across 78.83°N have been constructed using ...
