      Teigen, Sigurd Henrik; Nilsen, Frank; Skogseth, Ragnheid; Gjevik, Bjørn; Beszczynska-Möller, Agnieszka (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-07-15)
      Baroclinic instability in the West Spitsbergen Current is investigated, based on data from an array of current meter moorings along 78.83oN, across the deeper (1000-2400 m) section of the continental slope west of Svalbard. ...
    • Mixing of the Storfjorden overflow (Svalbard Archipelago) inferred from denstity overturns 

      Fer, Ilker; Skogseth, Ragnheid; Haugan, Peter Mosby (Journal article, 2004-01-03)
      Observations were made of the dense overflow from Storfjorden from a survey conducted at closely spaced stations in August 2002. The field data set consists of conventional conductivity-temperature-depth profiles and ...
    • Observations of the Storfjorden overflow 

      Fer, Ilker; Skogseth, Ragnheid; Haugan, Peter Mosby (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2003)
      The mixing and spreading of the Storfjorden overflow were investigated with density and horizontal velocity profiles collected at closely spaced stations. The dense bottom water generated by strong winter cooling, enhanced ...
    • Variability and decadal trends in the Isfjorden (Svalbard) ocean climate and circulation – An indicator for climate change in the European Arctic 

      Skogseth, Ragnheid; Olivier, Léa L.A.; Nilsen, Frank; Falck, Eva; Fraser, Neil J.; Tverberg, Vigdis; Ledang, Anna Birgitta; Vader, Anna; Jonassen, Marius Opsanger; Søreide, Janne; Cottier, Finlo Robert; Berge, Jørgen; Ivanov, Boris V.; Falk-Petersen, Stig (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 ...
    • Wind-Driven Variability in the Spitsbergen Polar Current and the Svalbard Branch Across the Yermak Plateau 

      Nilsen, Frank; Ersdal, Eli Anne; Skogseth, Ragnheid (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      The Yermak Plateau (YP) acts as a guidance or barrier for the West Spitsbergen Current (WSC), which either crosses the plateau or flows around it to enter the Arctic Ocean. Closer to the West Spitsbergen coast, the Spitsbergen ...
