Dissipation of turbulent kinetic energy inferred from Seagliders: an application to the eastern Nordic Seas overflows
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-12)Turbulent mixing is an important process controlling the descent rate, water mass modification, and volume transport augmentation due to entrainment in the dense overflows across the Greenland–Scotland Ridge. These overflows, ... -
Dissolution from a liquid CO2 lake disposed in the deep ocean
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2003)The dissolution from a liquid CO2 lake source located at a flat ocean bottom at 3,000 m depth is investigated. Using the unsteady, two-dimensional advection–diffusion equation, temporal and spatial distribution of CO2 ... -
Dissolved Oxygen and Biochemical Oxygen Demand in the waters close to the Quelimane sewage discharge
(Master thesis, 2010-06-01)The River dos Bons Sinais Estuary is one of the most important estuaries in the central region of the Mozambican coast. It is situated between the confluence of Cuácua and Licuári rivers and the Mozambican Channel in the ... -
Diurnal Circulation of the Bolivan Altiplano. Part I: Observations
(Journal article, 2005-04)In July and August 2003 a field campaign was conducted to explore the diurnal circulation of the Bolivian Altiplano. Vertical soundings by remote-controlled aircraft yielded profiles of temperature, pressure, and humidity ... -
Downscaling an intense precipitation event in complex terrain: the importance of high grid resolution
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)Floods due to intense rainfall are a major hazard to both people and infrastructure in western Norway. Here steep orography enhances precipitation and the complex terrain channels the runoff into narrow valleys and small ... -
Downslope windstorm in Iceland –WRF/MM5 model comparison
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-01-05)A severe windstorm downstream of Mt. Öræfajökull in Southeast Iceland is simulated on a grid of 1 km horizontal resolution by using the PSU/NCAR MM5 model and the Advanced Research WRF model. Both models are run with a ... -
Drag coefficient reduction at very high wind speeds
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2006-03-31)The correct representation of the 10-m drag coefficient for momentum (K10) at extreme wind speeds is very important for modeling the development of tropical depressions and may also be relevant to the understanding of other ... -
Drivers of the marine CO2 system in the High Arctic - from the deep basins to the shallow fjords
(Doctoral thesis, 2019-02-20)The High Arctic is largely undersampled in terms of marine CO2 system data due to the cold dark season and often an extensive sea ice cover. The current understanding of the Arctic carbon cycle is thus vulnerable to both ... -
Dual staining with CFDA-AM and SYTOX Blue in flow cytometry analysis of UV-irradiated Tetraselmis suecica to evaluate vitality
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)After disinfection of ballast water, it is crucial to detect organisms and determine their vitality to assess the performance of the chosen treatment technique. Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation is a treatment technology commonly ... -
The dynamic and thermodynamic structure of monsoon low-pressure systems during extreme rainfall events
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-08-12)A cyclone-tracking algorithm is used to identify monsoon low-pressure systems (LPS) in the ERA-interim re-analysis (1979–2010). The LPS that are connected to observed extreme rainfall events are picked out and studied with ... -
Dynamic Modelling of Squirrel Cage Induction Motors for Studying Motor Current Signature Analysis
(Master thesis, 2018-06-16)This study investigates dynamic modelling of induction motors with a variety of different defects and condition monitoring of these. The focus is directed at squirrel cage induction motors(SCIM) which is the most used ... -
The dynamic response of offshore wind turbines and their sensitivity to wind field models
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)As the rotor diameter of offshore wind turbines increases, an improved understanding of the structure of the turbulent wind field approaching the rotor is important. Present standards for computing wind loads are resting ... -
Dynamical controls on the longevity of a non-linear vortex : The case of the Lofoten Basin Eddy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-09-17)The Lofoten Basin is the largest oceanic reservoir of heat in the Nordic Seas, and the site of important heat fluxes to the atmosphere. An intense permanent anticyclone in the basin impacts the regional hydrography, ... -
Dynamical downscaling of ERA-40 in complex terrain using the WRF regional climate model
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010)Results from a first-time employment of the WRF regional climate model to climatological simulations in Europe are presented. The ERA-40 reanalysis (resolution 1 ) has been downscaled to a horizontal resolution of 30 and ... -
Dynamical Perspectives on the Formation and Intensification of Polar Lows
(Doctoral thesis, 2014-11-25)This thesis consists of a collection of scientific publications addressing dynamical aspects of the formation and intensification of polar lows. Polar lows are small scale, intense, short-lived cyclones developing over ... -
Dynamically combining climate models to "supermodel" the tropical Pacific
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-01)We construct an interactive ensemble of two different climate models to improve simulation of key aspects of tropical Pacific climate. Our so-called supermodel is based on two atmospheric general circulation models (AGCMs) ... -
Dynamics and Predictability of the Extreme Extratropical Cyclone Nina
(Master thesis, 2016-06-01)An extreme extratropical cyclone struck western Norway at 12 UTC 10 January 2015 causing significant damage to property due to extreme winds. The European region has a history of being struck by extreme cyclones that cause ... -
Dynamics of a CO2-seawater interface in the deep ocean
(Journal article, 2005)A trough filled with liquid CO2 located at 3940 m depth has been used as a model system for CO2 deposition on the seafloor. To study the intrinsic properties of the interface between CO2 and seawater a wave maker was used ... -
Dynamics of anomalous stratospheric eddy heat flux events in an idealized model
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-28)Extreme stratospheric eddy and sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) events both involve anomalous stratospheric eddy heat flux. The cause of the anomaly has been hypothesized to be due to tropospheric or stratospheric dynamics. ... -
