A quantitative description of the Norwegian Atlantic Current by combining altimetry and hydrography
Mork, Kjell Arne; Skagseth, Øystein (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-10-22)In this study, we quantified the mean flow and the variability in the Norwegian Atlantic Current (NwAC), including the individual branches, with associated error estimates. We accomplished this by combining repeated ... -
Recent warming and freshening of the Norwegian Sea observed by Argo data
Mork, Kjell Arne; Skagseth, Øystein; Søiland, Henrik (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Climate variability in the Norwegian Sea, comprising the Norwegian and Lofoten Basins, was investigated based upon monthly estimates of ocean heat and freshwater contents using data from Argo floats during 2002–18. Both ... -
Recruitment variability of fish stocks in the Barents Sea: Spatial and temporal variation in 0-group fish length of six commercial species during recent decades of warming (1980–2017)
Skjoldal, Hein Rune; Eriksen, Elena; Gjøsæter, Harald; Skagseth, Øystein; Prozorkevich, Dmitry A.; Lien, Vidar Surén (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Young-of-the-year (0-group) fish in the Barents Sea have been investigated in an annual joint Norwegian-Russian pelagic trawl survey in autumn, using a standardized procedure since 1980. We use a conceptual framework of ... -
Seasonal and interannual variability in abundance and population development of Calanus finmarchicus at the western entrance to the Barents Sea, 1995–2019
Skjoldal, Hein Rune; Aarflot, Johanna Myrseth; Bagøien, Espen; Skagseth, Øystein; Rønning, Jon S.; Lien, Vidar Suren (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Data on copepodid abundance and stage composition of Calanus finmarchicus was collected with seasonal resolution (5–6 times a year) from four stations along an oceanographic transect across the western Barents Sea Opening ... -
Structure and Forcing of Observed Exchanges across the Greenland–Scotland Ridge
Bringedal, Carina; Eldevik, Tor; Skagseth, Øystein; Spall, Michael A.; Østerhus, Svein (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation and associated poleward heat transport are balanced by northern heat loss to the atmosphere and corresponding water-mass transformation. The circulation of northward-flowing ... -
A volumetric census of the Barents Sea in a changing climate
Watelet, Sylvain; Skagseth, Øystein; Lien, Vidar Surén; Sagen, Helge; Østensen, Øivind; Ivshin, Victor; Beckers, Jean-Marie (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The Barents Sea, located between the Norwegian Sea and the Arctic Ocean, is one of the main pathways of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. Changes in the water mass transformations in the Barents Sea potentially ... -
Wind- and buoyancy-induced transport of the Norwegian Coastal Current in the Barents Sea
Skagseth, Øystein; Drinkwater, Ken; Terrile, E. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011-08-04)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 of a slope branch and an offshore branch, ... -
Wind-Driven Atlantic Water Flow as a Direct Mode for Reduced Barents Sea Ice Cover
Lien, Vidar Surén; Schlichtholz, Pawel; Skagseth, Øystein; Vikebø, Frode Bendiksen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Variability in the Barents Sea ice cover on interannual and longer time scales has previously been shown to be governed by oceanic heat transport. Based on analysis of observations and results from an ocean circulation ...
