Marine Plastic Drift from the Mekong River to Southeast Asia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023-04-26)Southeast Asia is the world’s most polluted area in terms of marine plastics. The Mekong River is one of the largest rivers in the area, and ranked as somewhere between the 8th- and 11th-biggest contributor to plastics in ... -
Marine Wind and Wave Height Trends at Different ERA-Interim Forecast Ranges
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-01-15)Trends in marine wind speed and significant wave height are investigated using the global reanalysis ERA-Interim over the period 1979–2012, based on monthly-mean and monthly-maximum data. Besides the traditional reanalysis, ... -
Marine-based multiproxy reconstruction of Atlantic multidecadal variability
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-02-28)Atlantic multidecadal variability (AMV) is known to impact climate globally, and knowledge about the persistence of AMV is important for understanding past and future climate variability, as well as modeling and assessing ... -
Mass balance of Nyainqen Tanglha glacier, Tibet, 1977 to 2001, derived by topographical maps and satellite images
(Master thesis, 2004)NyainQen TangLha Glacier plays an important role in the Tibetan plateau’s climate system. Because of high altitude, steeply sloping terrain and difficult access, regular, systematic surveys of glacial variation are almost ... -
Mass balance of the Greenland Ice Sheet from 1992 to 2018
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-12-10)The Greenland Ice Sheet has been a major contributor to global sea-level rise in recent decades1,2, and it is expected to continue to be so3. Although increases in glacier flow4,5,6 and surface melting7,8,9 have been driven ... -
Målt og Modellert Globalstråling ved Ekofisk og i Nordområdene
(Master thesis, 2011-06-01)I dette arbeidet er globalstrålingsdata fra Ekofisk, Arktis og fastlandsstasjoner i Norge og Sverige studert. Stasjonene ligger mellom 56°N og 75°N, og all data er hentet fra perioden 2005 til og med 2010. Målinger i Arktis ... -

Mean structure and seasonality of the Norwegian Atlantic Front Current along the Mohn Ridge from repeated glider transects
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The poleward flow of Atlantic Water in the Nordic Seas forms the upper limb of the meridional overturning circulation driving an important heat transport. The Norwegian Atlantic Front Current along the Mohn Ridge between ... -
Measured volume, heat, and salt fluxes from the Atlantic to the Arctic Mediterranean
(Journal article, 2005-04-07)The flow of warm and saline Atlantic water towards the Arctic crosses the Greenland-Scotland Ridge in three current branches. Since the mid 1990's, extensive monitoring with quasi-permanent moorings and regular CTD cruises ... -
Measured, modelled and satellite derived solar radiation in Scandinavia
(Master thesis, 2011-06-01)This article presents a comparison of global radiation data at different sites at the Scandinavian Peninsula. It makes use of ground truth, modelled and satellite derived surface global radiation data. First, a quality ... -
Measurement and evaluation of OH-airglow spectra over Svalbard

A mechanical energy budget for the North Sea
(Journal article, 2004-06-29)A three-dimensional baroclinic numerical model is used to quantify the components of the mechanical energy budget for a semi-enclosed sea, the North Sea. As anticipated, tidal energy is the largest supplier of mechanical ... -
Mechanisms affecting the transport of early stages of Norwegian Coastal Cod - a fjord study
(Master thesis, 2008-05-30)The fjord system of Sørfolda and Nordfolda situated in northern Norway is used in a model study. Particularly to explore the mechanisms causing separation and mixing of eggs from Arcto-Norwegian Cod (ANC) and Norwegian ... -
Mechanisms and pathways of ocean heat anomalies in the Arctic-Atlantic region
(Doctoral thesis, 2020-12-10)Along the Atlantic water pathway, from the Gulf Stream in the south to the Arctic Ocean in the north, variability in ocean heat content is pronounced on interannual to decadal time scales. Ocean heat anomalies in this ... -
Mechanisms for decadal scale variability in a simulated Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-06-25)Variability in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) has been analysed using a 600-year pre-industrial control simulation with the Bergen Climate Model. The typical AMOC variability has amplitudes of 1 ... -
Mechanisms of decadal North Atlantic climate variability and implications for the recent cold anomaly
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Decadal sea surface temperature (SST) fluctuations in the North Atlantic Ocean influence climate over adjacent land areas and are a major source of skill in climate predictions. However, the mechanisms underlying decadal ... -
Mechanisms of Ocean Heat Anomalies in the Norwegian Sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-04)Ocean heat content in the Norwegian Sea exhibits pronounced variability on interannual to decadal time scales. These ocean heat anomalies are known to influence Arctic sea ice extent, marine ecosystems, and continental ... -
Mechanisms of offshore solid and liquid freshwater flux from the East Greenland Current
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The mechanisms that control the export of freshwater from the East Greenland Current, in both liquid and solid form, are explored using an idealized numerical model and scaling theory. A regional, coupled ocean–sea ice ... -
Mechanisms of regional winter sea-ice variability in a warming arctic
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The Arctic winter sea ice cover is in retreat overlaid by large internal variability. Changes to sea ice are driven by exchange of heat, momentum, and freshwater within and between the ocean and the atmosphere. Using a ... -
The mechanisms that determine the response of the Northern Hemisphere’s stationary waves to North American Ice Sheets
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-07-01)Stationary waves describe the persistent meanders in the west–east flow of the extratropical atmosphere. Here, changes in stationary waves caused by ice sheets over North America are examined and the underlying mechanisms ...
