Changes in the properties and distribution of the intermediate and deep waters in the Fram Strait
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-04)The Fram Strait is the only deep connection between the Arctic Ocean and the Nordic Seas (Greenland, Iceland, and Norwegian Seas), with a sill depth of approximately 2600 m. Consequently, observations from this area reflect ... -
Diffusive and advective cross-frontal fluxes of inorganic nutrients and dissolved inorganic carbon in the Barents Sea in autumn
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The Atlantic Water, entering the Arctic through the Barents Sea and Fram Strait, is the main source of nutrients in the Arctic Ocean. The Barents Sea is divided by the Polar Front into an Atlantic-dominated domain in the ... -
Formation and pathways of dense water in the Nordic Seas based on a regional inversion
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Dense waters formed in the Nordic Seas spill across gaps in the Greenland-Scotland Ridge into the abyss of the North Atlantic to feed the lower limb of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. The overflow water ... -
From winter to late summer in the northwestern Barents Sea shelf: Impacts of seasonal progression of sea ice and upper ocean on nutrient and phytoplankton dynamics
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Strong seasonality is a key feature of high-latitude systems like the Barents Sea. While the interannual variability and long-term changes of the Barents Sea are well-documented, the seasonal progression of the physical ... -
Key physical processes and their model representation for projecting climate impacts on subarctic Atlantic net primary production: A synthesis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Oceanic net primary production forms the foundation of marine ecosystems. Understanding the impact of climate change on primary production is therefore critical and we rely on Earth System Models to project future changes. ... -
Rapid fCO2 rise in the northern Barents Sea and Nansen Basin
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Maps of surface water fugacity of CO2 (fCO2) over eastern Fram Strait, south-western Nansen Basin, and the north-western Barents Sea (73–84°N, 5–46°E) from September 1997 to December 2020 were made and used to investigate ... -
Variability and decadal trends in the Isfjorden (Svalbard) ocean climate and circulation – An indicator for climate change in the European Arctic
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Isfjorden, a broad Arctic fjord in western Spitsbergen, has shown significant changes in hydrography and inflow of Atlantic Water (AW) the last decades that only recently have been observed in the Arctic Ocean north of ... -
Variations of Mixed Layer Depth and Water Properties in the Norwegian Sea for the period 1949-1999
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2006-06-08)The mixed layer of the ocean and the processes therein affect the ocean’s biological production, the exchanges with the atmosphere, and the water modification processes important in a climate change per- spective. To provide ...
