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

A four year program, started in 2000, based on measurements of currents, temperature and salinity across the North Atlantic between the Orkneys (UK) and Cape Farewell (Greenland) spans all warm waters flowing north in what is known as the global thermohal ine circulation (popularly known as the C...

The Scandinavian pattern. Low-frequency atmospheric variability and autumn/winter rainfall in Norway

Teleconnection in the atmosphere are coherent large-scale patterns of variation in climate fields (eg pressure, temperature and preciptation). These are vital for understanding regional climate variability since they influence both the location and intens ity of the major jet streams and associat...

Processes governing air-sea CO2 transfer; an improved estimate for the North Atlantic

The project focuses on the issues of accurate parameterisation of the air-sea exchange rate and small scale biasing of air-sea flux estimates, aiming to provide an accurate estimate of the air-sea flux of CO₂ in North Atlantic, and its inter-an nual variability. The project intends to ...

Boundary layer processes affecting dense water flow on a slope

Overflow at submarine ridges, and especially through channels is of the great importance for the global thermohaline circulation and interannual climate variability. Significant near-bottom mixing is usually observed within dense overflows from marginal s eas. These bottom-intensified currents co...
