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 ...
Productivity in the Barents Sea - Response to recent climate variability
(PLoS, 2014-05-01)
The temporal and spatial dynamics of primary and secondary biomass/production in the Barents Sea since the late 1990s
are examined using remote sensing data, observations and a coupled physical-biological model. Field ...
Arctic sea ice and Eurasian climate: A review
(Science Press, 2014-11-28)
The Arctic plays a fundamental role in the climate system and has shown significant climate change in recent decades, including the Arctic warming and decline of Arctic sea-ice extent and thickness. In contrast to the ...
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 ...
A model study of the seasonal and long-term North Atlantic surface pCO(2) variability
(Copernicus Publications, 2012-03-05)
A coupled biogeochemical-physical ocean model is used to study the seasonal and long–term variations of surface pCO2 in the North Atlantic Ocean. The model agrees well with recent underway pCO2 observations from the Surface ...
Particle aggregation at the edges of anticyclonic eddies and implications for distribution of biomass
(Copernicus Publications, 2012-06-14)
Acoustic measurements show that the biomass of zooplankton and mesopelagic fish is redistributed by mesoscale variability and that the signal extends over several hundred meters depth. The mechanisms governing this ...
Laboratory study of initial sea-ice growth: properties of grease ice and nilas
(Copernicus Publications, 2012-07-10)
We investigate initial sea-ice growth in an ice-tank study by freezing an NaCl solution of about 29 g kg−1 in three different setups: grease ice grew in experiments with waves and in experiments with a current and wind, ...
Recent wind driven high sea ice area export in the Fram Strait contributes to Arctic sea ice decline
(Copernicus Publications, 2011-10-14)
Arctic sea ice area has been decreasing for the past two decades. Apart from melting, the southward drift through Fram Strait is the main ice loss mechanism. We present high resolution sea ice drift data across 79° N from ...
Trends and drivers in global surface ocean pH over the past 3 decades
(Copernicus Publications, 2015-03-02)
We report global long-term trends in surface ocean pH using a new pH data set computed by combining fCO2 observations from the Surface Ocean CO2 Atlas (SOCAT) version 2 with surface alkalinity estimates based on temperature ...
Long-term trends in surface ocean pH in the North Atlantic
(Elsevier, 2014-05)
Presently available direct pH measurements do not have a sufficient data density in space or time in order to determine long-term trends across wider geographic regions, limiting our ability to assess the magnitude and ...
