    • Climate change and safe design of ship structures 

      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 ...

    • Directional wave measurements using an autonomous vessel 

      Hole, L. R.; Fer, Ilker; Peddie, David (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-08-01)
      An autonomous vessel, the Offshore Sensing Sailbuoy, was used for wave measurements near the Ekofisk oil platform complex in the North Sea (56.5º N, 3.2º E, operated by ConocoPhillips) from 6 to 20 November 2015. Being 100 ...

    • Gas exploration beyond the shelf break : an oceanographic challenge 

      Thiem, Øyvind; Berntsen, Jarle; Eldevik, Tor; Alendal, Guttorm (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2006-02)
      Norway's second largest gas field, Ormen Lange, is located 140 km west off Kristiansund at an unprecedented depth when it comes to exploration. It will be the first Norwegian project beyond the shelf break. Exploration and ...

    • Investigating Wave Loads and Energy of a Spherical Object Using Numerical and Experimental Methods 

      Dolve, Erling Calvert (Master thesis, 2023-11-20)
      The world is undergoing massive changes due to climate change. To combat this, renewable energy sources are required. Whereas solar, wind, and hydropower are viable alternatives, wave power offers more stability and is a ...

    • Marine Wind and Wave Height Trends at Different ERA-Interim Forecast Ranges 

      Aarnes, Ole Johan; Abdalla, Saleh; Bidlot, Jean-Raymond; Breivik, Øyvind (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-01-15)
      Trends in marine wind speed and significant wave height are investigated using the global reanalysis ERA-Interim over the period 1979–2012, based on monthly-mean and monthly-maximum data. Besides the traditional reanalysis, ...

    • 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 ...
