• A model study of the seasonal and long-term North Atlantic surface pCO(2) variability 

      Tjiputra, Jerry; Olsen, Are; Assmann, Karen Margarete; Pfeil, Benjamin; Heinze, Christoph (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      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 ...
    • Getz Ice Shelf melt enhanced by freshwater discharge from beneath the West Antarctic Ice Sheet 

      Wei, Wei; Blankenship, Donald D.; Greenbaum, Jamin S.; Gourmelen, Noel; Dow, Christine F.; Richter, Thomas G.; Greene, Chad A.; Young, Duncan A.; Lee, SangHoon; Kim, Tae-Wan; Lee, Won Sang; Assmann, Karen Margarete (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Antarctica's Getz Ice Shelf has been rapidly thinning in recent years, producing more meltwater than any other ice shelf in the world. The influx of fresh water is known to substantially influence ocean circulation and ...
    • Intermittent Reduction in Ocean Heat Transport Into the Getz Ice Shelf Cavity During Strong Wind Events 

      Steiger, Nadine; Darelius, Elin; Wåhlin, Anna; Assmann, Karen Margarete (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      The flow of warm water toward the western Getz Ice Shelf along the Siple Trough, West Antarctica, is intermittently disrupted during short events of Winter Water deepening. Here we show, using mooring records, that these ...
    • On the circulation, water mass distribution, and nutrient concentrations of the western Chukchi Sea 

      Clement Kinney, Jaclyn; Assmann, Karen Margarete; Maslowski, Wieslaw; Björk, Göran; Jakobsson, Martin; Jutterström, Sara; Lee, Younjoo J.; Osinski, Robert; Semiletov, Igor; Ulfsbo, Adam; Wählström, Irene; Anderson, Leif G. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Substantial amounts of nutrients and carbon enter the Arctic Ocean from the Pacific Ocean through the Bering Strait, distributed over three main pathways. Water with low salinities and nutrient concentrations takes an ...
