Mass transport in free barotropic and baroclinic Sverdrup waves in a viscous rotating ocean

The fact that friction significantly modifies long barotropic waves was first demonstrated by Sverdrup (1927) and Fjeldstad (1929) in their analyses of the semi-diurnal tides on the North Siberian Shelf. Features such as reduced phase speed, decreasing am plitude as the waves progress and phase l...

OVERVÅK-Overvåkn.av marine/terrestr.s.

Spatial and temporal variability of currents and transport of warm waters towards the Nordic Seas

The proposed program to measure currents, temperature, sanility and CO2 across the North Atlantic between the Orkney (UK) and Cape Farewell (Greenland) spans all warm waters flowing north in what is known as the global termohaline circulation (popularly k nown as the Conveyor Belt). While the gen...

OVERVÅK-Overvåkn.av marine/terrestr.s.

Monitoring the Norwegian Coastal Zone Environment (MONCOZE)

Currently major deficiencies exist in our ability to understand and describe the variability of the Norwegian Coastal Current and its influence on the marine environment, locally as well as downstream. In this project we will therefore implement, validate , test and demonstrate a system dedicated...

The energetics of oceanic eddies and mesoscale features off the southern tip of Norway: A numerical study,dr.gr.stip. Ingerid Fossum

Prosjektsammendrag: It is well known that the ocean area off the southern tip of Norway is an area where oceanic mesoscale features such as eddies, fronts, upwelling jets and filaments are in abundance. It is also well known that this area is a higly biological productive ar ea, and that this pro...
