The focus of this work is on the temporal and spatial variability of the Atlantic Water (AW). We
analyze the existing historic hydrographic data from the World Ocean Database to document …

The focus of this study is on the fluxes and forcing of the Norwegian Coastal Current (NCC)
at the entrance to the Barents Sea. The structure and dynamics of the NCC, which consists …

Abstract The Arctic Circumpolar Boundary Current (ACBC) transports a vast amount of mass
and heat around cyclonic gyres of the deep basins, acting as a narrow, topographically …

In this study, we use 22 acoustically tracked RAFOS floats to examine the routes and
spreading of warm North Atlantic waters entering the Norwegian Sea between Iceland and …

The structures of the hydrographic fronts separating the Atlantic-origin waters from ambient
waters in the northern Nordic Seas are discussed. Flows of the western and eastern …

In this study, we explore the downward branch of the Atlantic meridional overturning
circulation (AMOC) from a perspective in depth space (Eulerian downwelling) as well as …

Issues relevant to the water mass transformation and circulation in the Nordic Seas are
explored using a series of idealized numerical model calculations. The essential aspects of …

Large‐scale budget calculations and numerical model process studies suggest that lateral
eddy heat fluxes have an important cooling effect on the Norwegian Atlantic Current (NwAC) …

Abstract Changes in sea level may be attributed either to barotropic (involving the entire
water column) or baroclinic processes (governed by stratification). It has been widely …

The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation and associated poleward heat transport are
balanced by northern heat loss to the atmosphere and corresponding water-mass …
