Eddy Structure and Dynamics in the Mozambique Channel
(Master thesis, 2010-06-01)Abstract The Mozambique Channel circulation is dominated by a sequence of southward migrating cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies and previous studies have been done to investigate the flow, the variability and nature of the ... -
Ein enkel orografisk nedbørsmodell for Vestlandet
(Master thesis, 2011)I denne oppgåva er det undersøkt om ein enkel orografisk nedbørsmodell vil kunne gje gode estimat for nedbøren på Vestlandet. Ein del av oppgåva har vore å finne ut om ein slik modell er eit eigna verktøy til å forklare ... -
Ekstremverdianalyse av nedbør og oppdatering av intensitet - varighet - frekvenskurver i Bergen Kommune
(Master thesis, 2016-06-14)Bergen er en by på vestkysten av Norge kjent for høyre årlige nedbørsmengder og mange regndager.På grunn av dette har en i Bergen en lang historie i håndtering av store nedbørsmengder. Dette har en lykkes godt med så langt, ... -
Estimating fin whale distribution from ambient noise spectra using Bayesian inversion
(Master thesis, 2015-06-01)Passive acoustic monitoring is increasingly used to study the distribution and migration of marine mammals. Marine mammal vocalizations are transient sounds, but the combined sound energy of a population continuously ... -
Experimental methods to study the process of snow-ice formation induced by saltwater rise
(Master thesis, 2018-11-09)The Arctic region is experiencing a change from thick multiyear to much younger and thinner sea ice. In many places, increasing precipitation is leading to higher snow loads on young sea ice. Hence seawater can infiltrate ... -
Extreme precipitation in Central Norway. A case and climate study
(Master thesis, 2010-06-01)An extreme precipitation event occurred over Central Norway at the end of January to the beginning of February 2006. The heavy precipitation in addition to high temperatures lead to snow melt and increased run-off, which ... -
Factors controlling the total alkalinity in the Arabian Sea and Red Sea
(Master thesis, 2010-06-01)Based on data obtained during the Geochemical Ocean Section Study (GEOSECS) 1977, Mer Rouge (MEROU) 1982, and US Joint Global Ocean Flux (JGOFS) 1995 studies we have analyzed the processes controlling the total alkalinity ... -
The fate of the Atlantic Water in the North Icelandic Irminger Current
(Master thesis, 2012-01-19)The fate of the Atlantic Water within the North Icelandic Irminger Current has long been questioned. The North Icelandic Irminger Current flows along the Icelandic shelf area to the west and north of Iceland, bringing warm ... -
Fine scale distribution of precipitation in the Voss area
(Master thesis, 2015-06-05)The precipitation in Western Norway is strongly affected by its position in the mid latitude conveyor belt of synoptic systems. When the warm and moist air impinges on the complex mountainous terrain, large variabilities ... -
Growing Ice in a Tank: Young Sea Ice Evolution and Turbulence in the Under Ice Boundary Layer
(Master thesis, 2011-11-14)Thin sea ice and its modifications of the oceanic boundary layer are important in the context of the recent retreat of the Arctic sea ice cover. To study turbulence in the under ice boundary layer during thin sea ice growth, ... -
Ice and brine production in Hornsund
(Master thesis, 2015-06-02)The Hornsund fjord system has been studied using observations of the atmosphere, ocean and sea ice, and two different types of models. The study documents significant year to year variability in sea ice formation and brine ... -
Individual based modeling of North Atlantic common minke whale (Balaenoptera acutorostrata) migratory and foraging behaviour in the Nordic Seas
(Master thesis, 2014-09-01)The North Atlantic common minke whale (Balaenoptera Acutorostrata) is an abundant, top-level marine predator in the Nordic Seas and Barents Sea ecosystems whose large-scale migratory and foraging behaviors are widely ... -
Interannual variations of freshwater content in Hornsund
(Master thesis, 2015-05-04)Salinity measurements have been used to calculate the freshwater content in Hornsund for the years 2001 to 2014. In 2011 there was significantly higher freshwater content in the fjord, compared to the other years, with a ... -
Investigations on the External Forcings acting on the Convective Boundary Layer during the BLLAST Campaign by the CLASS Model
(Master thesis, 2017-06-20)Using both observed and modelled datasets from the 2011 Boundary Layer Late Afternoon and Sunset Turbulence (BLLAST) campaign, the influence of large-scale forcings and surface heterogeneity is investigated for ten out of ... -
Korrigering av modellestimert nedbør ved hjelp av historisk data.
(Master thesis, 2010-06-01)I denne oppgåva er det sett på moglegheit for betring av modellestimert nedbør ved å korrigere modellerte nedbørsestimat ved hjelp av fleire ulike korreksjonsfaktorar som tar omsyn til ulike vêrtypar og nedbørsintensiteten. ... -
Langmuir Turbulence in the HYCOM Ocean Model
(Master thesis, 2017)The impact of parameterising the turbulent mixing induced by surface wave-driven Langmuir turbulence is investigated for a basin-scale configuration of the hybrid-coordinate ocean circulation model HYCOM. Two-year, non-data ... -
Late winter response to atmospheric and tidal forcing in the Førdefjord, inferred from mooring observations
(Master thesis, 2018-06-20)The Førdefjord is a narrow fjord on the western coast of Norway. A shallow sill is situated at the Ålasund, in the centre part of the fjord. A deep basin, 3 km north of the sill, has been approved as a deposit site for ... -
The linear stationary wave response to Arctic amplification related heating
(Master thesis, 2015-06-01)There has been a raft of manuscripts which claim to show that Arctic amplification (AA) is responsible for changes in the large-scale wintertime midlatitude atmospheric circulation. Responses to these studies have shown ... -
Local flow conditions in the Bergen valley based on observations and numerical simulations
(Master thesis, 2012-10-16)The complex topography and variability in surface roughness in the Bergen valley aff-ects the flow conditions in a multitude of ways. The steep mountains give shelter during strong synoptic flow, but the orography of Bergen ... -
Lofoten eddies observed by Seagliders
(Master thesis, 2018-11-22)When the Norwegian Atlantic Current passes the Lofoten Basin, it loses a large amount of mass and heat to mesoscale eddies as a result of instabilities of the mean current along the Norwegian Slope. The eddies subsequently ...
