Disko Bay sea-ice variability: Oceanic and Atmospheric drivers
(Master thesis, 2023-11-20)Climate change impacts the Arctic sea-ice cover and thickness with a related Arctic Amplification and an increased ocean heat transport towards the Arctic. There has been a profound decline of Arctic winter sea-ice extent, ... -
Dispersion and abundance of salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) in a Norwegian fjord system
(Master thesis, 2011-11-20)Based on numerical results of currents from a high resolution fjord model, dispersion of salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) in the Hardangerfjord has been modelled. The results show that salmon lice abundance in the ... -
Dispersion of Mine Particles in Førdefjorden
(Master thesis, 2023-10-10)Førdefjorden is the site of a newly permitted submarine tailing disposal (STD) in Norway, and it is nationally debated. Major implications of an STD can be toxic compounds of the tailing, severe impacts on the benthic ... -
Dissolved Oxygen and Biochemical Oxygen Demand in the waters close to the Quelimane sewage discharge
(Master thesis, 2010-06-01)The River dos Bons Sinais Estuary is one of the most important estuaries in the central region of the Mozambican coast. It is situated between the confluence of Cuácua and Licuári rivers and the Mozambican Channel in the ... -
Dynamics and Predictability of the Extreme Extratropical Cyclone Nina
(Master thesis, 2016-06-01)An extreme extratropical cyclone struck western Norway at 12 UTC 10 January 2015 causing significant damage to property due to extreme winds. The European region has a history of being struck by extreme cyclones that cause ... -
The Dynamics of the East Madagascar Current System and Its Influence on the Biological Production Associated to the Shelf - An Observational Study
(Master thesis, 2011-06-01)The dynamics of the East Madagascar Current (EMC) system, and its influence on the biological production associated to the shelf, is studied by using cruise-data collected onboard the Norwegian R/V. Dr. Fridtjof Nansen ... -
Eddy Structure and Dynamics in the Mozambique Channel
(Master thesis, 2010-06-01)Abstract The Mozambique Channel circulation is dominated by a sequence of southward migrating cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies and previous studies have been done to investigate the flow, the variability and nature of the ... -
Ein enkel orografisk nedbørsmodell for Vestlandet
(Master thesis, 2011)I denne oppgåva er det undersøkt om ein enkel orografisk nedbørsmodell vil kunne gje gode estimat for nedbøren på Vestlandet. Ein del av oppgåva har vore å finne ut om ein slik modell er eit eigna verktøy til å forklare ... -
Ekstremverdianalyse av nedbør og oppdatering av intensitet - varighet - frekvenskurver i Bergen Kommune
(Master thesis, 2016-06-14)Bergen er en by på vestkysten av Norge kjent for høyre årlige nedbørsmengder og mange regndager.På grunn av dette har en i Bergen en lang historie i håndtering av store nedbørsmengder. Dette har en lykkes godt med så langt, ... -
Enabling the direct comparison of high-resolution precipitation observations with operational weather prediction model output
(Master thesis, 2022-06-01)Precipitation characteristics is expected to change in the future, as an effect of global climate change. High-intensity precipitation will become a more frequent concern in some areas of the world. The rapid changes and ... -
Estimating fin whale distribution from ambient noise spectra using Bayesian inversion
(Master thesis, 2015-06-01)Passive acoustic monitoring is increasingly used to study the distribution and migration of marine mammals. Marine mammal vocalizations are transient sounds, but the combined sound energy of a population continuously ... -
Evaluating the quality of Controlled Meteorological Balloons in Arctic air mass transformation over the Nordic Seas
(Master thesis, 2023-06-01)In situ measurements from Controlled Meteorological (CMET) balloons are used to study Arctic air mass transformation in marine cold air outbreaks (mCAOs) over the Nordic Seas. 6 CMET balloons were launched from Ny- ̊Alesund ... -
Experimental methods to study the process of snow-ice formation induced by saltwater rise
(Master thesis, 2018-11-09)The Arctic region is experiencing a change from thick multiyear to much younger and thinner sea ice. In many places, increasing precipitation is leading to higher snow loads on young sea ice. Hence seawater can infiltrate ... -
Extreme precipitation in Central Norway. A case and climate study
(Master thesis, 2010-06-01)An extreme precipitation event occurred over Central Norway at the end of January to the beginning of February 2006. The heavy precipitation in addition to high temperatures lead to snow melt and increased run-off, which ... -
Factors controlling the total alkalinity in the Arabian Sea and Red Sea
(Master thesis, 2010-06-01)Based on data obtained during the Geochemical Ocean Section Study (GEOSECS) 1977, Mer Rouge (MEROU) 1982, and US Joint Global Ocean Flux (JGOFS) 1995 studies we have analyzed the processes controlling the total alkalinity ... -

The fate of the Atlantic Water in the North Icelandic Irminger Current
(Master thesis, 2012-01-19)The fate of the Atlantic Water within the North Icelandic Irminger Current has long been questioned. The North Icelandic Irminger Current flows along the Icelandic shelf area to the west and north of Iceland, bringing warm ... -
Fine scale distribution of precipitation in the Voss area
(Master thesis, 2015-06-05)The precipitation in Western Norway is strongly affected by its position in the mid latitude conveyor belt of synoptic systems. When the warm and moist air impinges on the complex mountainous terrain, large variabilities ... -
