The Atlantic inflow across the Greenland-Scotland ridge in global climate models (CMIP5)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-05-21)Oceanic heat transport from the North Atlantic to the Arctic through the Nordic Seas is a key component of the climate system that has to be modelled accurately in order to predict, for example, future Arctic sea ice changes ... -
The Atlantic Water flow along the Vøring Plateau: Detecting frontal structures in oceanic station time series
(Journal article, 2007-01-13)The topographic steering of the baroclinic western branch of the Norwegian Atlantic Current (NwAC) determines the extent of Atlantic Water and location of the Arctic Front in the Nordic Seas. In this paper the geographical ... -
Atlantic water transformation along its poleward pathway across the Nordic Seas
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-08-23)The warm and salty Atlantic Water is substantially modified along its poleward transit across the Nordic Seas, where it reaches deeper isopycnals. In particular, the Lofoten Basin, exposed to intense air‐sea interactions, ... -
A brief history of climate – the northern seas from the Last Glacial Maximum to global warming
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-12)The understanding of climate and climate change is fundamentally concerned with two things: a well-defined and sufficiently complete climate record to be explained, for example of observed temperature, and a relevant ... -
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 ... -
Intermediate water from the Greenland Sea in the Faroe Bank Channel : spreading of released sulphur hexafluoride
(Journal article, 2005-02)The Faroe Bank Channel is the deepest passage for dense water leaving the Nordic Seas into the North Atlantic. The contribution to this part of the Greenland-Scotland Overflow by intermediate water from the Greenland Sea ... -
Magnitude and Origin of the Anthropogenic CO2 Increase and the 13C Suess Effect in the Nordic Seas since 1981
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2006-09-29)This study evaluates the anthropogenic changes of CO2 (∆Cant) and δ13C (∆δ13Cant) in the Nordic seas, the northern limb of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, that took place between 1981 and 2002/03. The ... -
Variability along the Atlantic water pathway in the forced Norwegian Earth System Model
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-03-27)The growing attention on mechanisms that can provide predictability on interannual-to-decadal time scales, makes it necessary to identify how well climate models represent such mechanisms. In this study we use a high (0.25° ...
