• 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 ...
    • 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 ...
    • Weakening of Cold Halocline Layer Exposes Sea Ice to Oceanic Heat in the Eastern Arctic Ocean 

      Polyakov, Igor V.; Rippeth, Tom; Fer, Ilker; Alkire, Matthew B.; Carmack, Eddy; Ingvaldsen, Randi Brunvær; Ivanov, Vladimir V.; Janout, Markus; Lind, Sigrid; Padman, Laurie; Pnyushkov, Andrey V.; Rember, Robert (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      A 15-yr duration record of mooring observations from the eastern (>70°E) Eurasian Basin (EB) of the Arctic Ocean is used to show and quantify the recently increased oceanic heat flux from intermediate-depth (~150–900 m) ...
    • 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 ...
