Dissipation measurements using temperature microstructure from an underwater glider
(Elsevier, 2014-09)
Microstructure measurements of temperature and current shear are made using an autonomous underwater glider. The glider is equipped with fast-response thermistors and airfoil shear probes, providing measurements of dissipation ...
Mixing of the Storfjorden overflow (Svalbard Archipelago) inferred from denstity overturns
(American Geophysical Union, 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 ...
Autonomous Ocean Turbulence Measurements Using Shear Probes on a Moored Instrument
(American Meteorological Society, 2014-02)
An internally recording, autonomous instrument has been tested for measurements of ocean turbulence from
a mooring line. Measurements were made at a single level in the water column, but for an extended period of
time, ...
The SailBuoy remotely-controlled unmanned vessel: Measurements of near surface temperature, salinity and oxygen concentration in the Northern Gulf of Mexico
(Elsevier, 2014-09)
An experimental deployment of a new type of unmanned vessel is presented. The Christian Michelsen Research SailBuoy, a remotely-controlled surface vehicle, sampled near-surface properties during a two-month mission in the ...
Observational validation of the diffusive convection flux laws in the Amundsen Basin, Arctic Ocean
(American Geophysical Union, 2015-12)
The low levels of mechanically driven mixing in many regions of the Arctic Ocean make double diffusive convection virtually the only mechanism for moving heat up from the core of Atlantic Water towards the surface. In an ...
Advances in understanding and parameterization of small-scalephysical processes in the marine Arctic climate system: a review
(Copernicus Publications, 2014-09-10)
The Arctic climate system includes numerous highly interactive small-scale physical processes in the atmosphere, sea ice, and ocean. During and since the International Polar Year 2007–2009, significant advances have been ...
Towards quantifying the increasing role of oceanic heat in sea ice loss in the new Arctic
(American Meteorological Society, 2015)
The loss of Arctic sea ice has emerged as a leading signal of global warming. This, together with acknowledged impacts on other components of the Earth system, has led to the term “the new Arctic.” Global coupled climate ...
Near-inertial mixing in the central Arctic Ocean
(American Meteorological Society, 2014-08)
Observations were made in April 2007 of horizontal currents, hydrography, and shear microstructure in the upper 500 m from a drifting ice camp in the central Arctic Ocean. An approximately 4-day-long time series, collected ...
The Lofoten Basin Eddy: three years of evolution as observed by Seagliders
(American Geophysical Union, 2017-08)
The Lofoten Basin in the Norwegian Sea is an area where the warm Atlantic Water is subject to the greatest heat losses anywhere in the Nordic Seas. A long-lived, deep, anticyclonic eddy is located in the central part of ...
Tidal forcing, energetics, and mixing near the Yermak Plateau
(Copernicus Publications, 2015-03-27)
The Yermak Plateau (YP), located northwest of Svalbard in Fram Strait, is the final passage for the inflow of warm Atlantic Water into the Arctic Ocean. The region is characterized by the largest barotropic tidal velocities ...
