On radar imaging of current features: 2. Mesoscale eddy and current front detection
(American Geophysical Union, 2005-07-22)
The surface signatures of meandering fronts and eddies have been regularly observed and documented in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. Wave-current interactions, the suppression of short wind waves by natural film, ...
Barents Sea ice cover reflects Atlantic inflow
(The authors, 2011)
The recent Arctic winter sea-ice retreat is most pronounced in the Barents Sea. Using
available observations of the Atlantic inflow to the Barents Sea and results from a regional
ice-ocean model we assess the role of ...
Mechanisms for decadal scale variability in a simulated Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation
(Springer Verlag, 2011-06-25)
Variability in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) has been analysed using a 600-year pre-industrial control simulation with the Bergen Climate Model. The typical AMOC variability has amplitudes of 1 ...
A brief history of climate – the northern seas from the Last Glacial Maximum to global warming
(Elsevier, 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 ...
Arctic/Atlantic exchanges via the Subpolar Gyre
(American Meteorological Society, 2012)
In the present study we investigate the decadal variability in the strength and shape of the Subpolar
Gyre (SPG) in a 600-year pre-industrial simulation using the Bergen Climate Model. The
atmospheric influence on the ...
Water mass transformation and the North Atlantic Current in three multi-century climate model simulations
(American Geophysical Union, 2012-11)
The warm and saline Subtropical Water carried by the North Atlantic Current undergoes substantial
transformation on its way to higher latitudes as heat is released from ocean to atmosphere.
The geographical distribution ...
Skillful prediction of northern climate provided by the ocean
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017-06-20)
It is commonly understood that a potential for skillful climate prediction resides in the ocean. It nevertheless remains unresolved to what extent variable ocean heat is imprinted on the atmosphere to realize its predictive ...
How northern freshwater input can stabilise thermohaline circulation
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)
The North Atlantic thermohaline circulation (THC) carries heat and salt towards the Arctic. This circulation is partly sustained by buoyancy loss and is generally believed to be inhibited by northern freshwater input as ...
Time Scales and Sources of European Temperature Variability
(Wiley, 2018-04)
Skillful predictions of continental climate would be of great practical benefit for society and stakeholders. It nevertheless remains fundamentally unresolved to what extent climate is predictable, for what features, at ...
Structure and Forcing of Observed Exchanges across the Greenland–Scotland Ridge
(American Meteorological Society, 2018)
The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation and associated poleward heat transport are balanced by northern heat loss to the atmosphere and corresponding water-mass transformation. The circulation of northward-flowing ...
