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 ... -
Coupled atmosphere-ice-ocean dynamics in Dansgaard-Oeschger events
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-11-10)The Dansgaard-Oeschger events of the last ice age are among the best studied abrupt climate changes, yet a comprehensive explanation is still lacking. They are most pronounced in the North Atlantic, where they manifest as ... -
Long-term trends in surface ocean pH in the North Atlantic
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-05)Presently available direct pH measurements do not have a sufficient data density in space or time in order to determine long-term trends across wider geographic regions, limiting our ability to assess the magnitude and ... -
Multiple timescales of stochastically forced North Atlantic Ocean variability: A model study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-09)The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) and the subpolar gyre (SPG) are important elements in mechanisms for multidecadal variability in models in the North Atlantic Ocean. In this study, a 2000-year long ... -
Suppressed eddy driving during southward excursions of the North Atlantic jet on synoptic to seasonal time scales
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-09-05)Jet streams shape midlatitude weather and climate. The North Atlantic jet is mainly eddy‐driven, with frequent north–south excursions on synoptic time scales arising from eddy forcings and feedbacks. There are, however, ...
