      Bitner-Gregersen, Elzbieta M.; Vanem, Erik; Gramstad, Odin; Hørte, Torfinn; Aarnes, Ole Johan; Reistad, Magnar; Breivik, Øyvind; Magnusson, Anne Karin; Natvig, Bent (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-02)
      The paper addresses projected changes of wave climate in the North Atlantic and their impact on the safe design of ships, with a particular focus given on associated uncertainties. The Fifth Assessment Report of the ...
    • A high‐resolution hindcast of wind and waves for the North Sea, the Norwegian Sea, and the Barents Sea 

      Reistad, Magnar; Breivik, Øyvind; Haakenstad, Hilde; Aarnes, Ole Johan; Furevik, Birgitte Rugaard; Bidlot, Jean-Raymond (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-05)
      A combined high-resolution atmospheric downscaling and wave hindcast based on the ERA-40 reanalysis covering the Norwegian Sea, the North Sea, and the Barents Sea is presented. The period covered is from September 1957 to ...
    • The Impact of a Reduced High-Wind Charnock Parameter on Wave Growth With Application to the North Sea, the Norwegian Sea, and the Arctic Ocean 

      Breivik, Øyvind; Carrasco, Ana; Haakenstad, Hilde; Aarnes, Ole Johan; Behrens, Arno; Bidlot, Jean-Raymond; Björkqvist, Jan-Victor; Bohlinger, Patrik; Furevik, Birgitte Rugaard; Staneva, Joanna; Reistad, Magnar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      As atmospheric models move to higher resolution and resolve smaller scales, the maximum modeled wind speed also tends to increase. Wave models tuned to coarser wind fields tend to overestimate the wave growth under strong ...
    • NORA10EI: A revised regional atmosphere-wave hindcast for the North Sea, the Norwegian Sea and the Barents Sea 

      Haakenstad, Hilde; Breivik, Øyvind; Reistad, Magnar; Aarnes, Ole Johan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      NORA10EI, a new atmosphere and wave hindcast for the Norwegian Sea, the North Sea and the Barents Sea is presented. The hindcast uses ERA‐Interim as initial and boundary conditions and covers the period 1979–2017. The ...
    • Nora3: A nonhydrostatic high-resolution hindcast of the North sea, the Norwegian sea, and the Barents sea 

      Haakenstad, Hilde; Breivik, Øyvind; Furevik, Birgitte Rugaard; Reistad, Magnar; Bohlinger, Patrik; Aarnes, Ole Johan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      The 3-km Norwegian Reanalysis (NORA3) is a 15-yr mesoscale-permitting atmospheric hindcast of the North Sea, the Norwegian Sea, and the Barents Sea. With a horizontal resolution of 3 km, the nonhydrostatic numerical weather ...
    • Projected changes in significant wave height toward the end of the 21st century: Northeast Atlantic 

      Aarnes, Ole Johan; Reistad, Magnar; Breivik, Øyvind; Bitner-Gregersen, Elzbieta M.; Eide, Lars Ingolf; Gramstad, Odin; Magnusson, Anne Karin; Natvig, Bent; Vanem, Erik (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-04)
      Wind field ensembles from six CMIP5 models force wave model time slices of the northeast Atlantic over the last three decades of the 20th and the 21st centuries. The future wave climate is investigated by considering the ...
    • Wave Extremes in the Northeast Atlantic 

      Aarnes, Ole Johan; Breivik, Øyvind; Reistad, Magnar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-03)
      The objective of this study is to compute 100-yr return value estimates of significant wave height using a new hindcast developed by the Norwegian Meteorological Institute. This regional hindcast covers the northeast ...
