IS-DAAD-Forskerutveksl. Norge-Tyskland

Developing methods for advanced modeling of sea ice physical properties

Fordelingen av sjøis på jorden er en nøkkelkomponent i klimasystemet. Den påvirker varme- og energiutvekslingen mellom oseanet og atmosfæren, strålingsbalanset, opprinnelsen av havsirkulasjoner og med partikkeltransporten også næringskjeden. Hermed legger de fysio-kjemiske vekselvirkningene i de...
