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 ... -
Consistent fluctuations in intermediate water temperature off the coast of Greenland and Norway during Dansgaard-Oeschger events
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-11-01)Rapid warmings epitomize the Dansgaard-Oeschger events that are recorded in Greenland ice cores and imprinted in ocean sediment cores. While the abrupt climate changes appear connected to perturbations in sea ice and ocean ... -
Dansgaard-Oeschger cycles: Interactions between ocean and sea ice intrinsic to the Nordic seas
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-09)Dansgaard-Oeschger (D-O) cycles are the most dramatic, frequent, and wide-reaching abrupt climate changes in the geologic record. On Greenland, D-O cycles are characterized by an abrupt warming of 10 ± 5°C from a cold ... -
Inception of the Northern European Ice Sheet due to contrasting ocean and insolation forcing
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2007-01)About 115,000 years ago the last interglacial reached its terminus and nucleation of new ice sheet growth was initiated. Evidence from the northernmost Nordic Seas indicate that the inception of the last glacial was related ... -
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 ... -
Late Neogene dinoflagellate cyst and acritarch biostratigraphy for Ocean Drilling Program Hole 642B, Norwegian Sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-01)The Arctic is a critical region in the current and past global climate system. One major challenge for investigating the geological history of the Arctic is the establishment of a rigorous chronology. To get better insights ... -
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° ...
