Seasonal variability in Atlantic Water off Spitsbergen

Deep Sea Research Part I: Oceanographic Research Papers, 2009
A combination of 2-year-long mooring-based measurements and snapshot conductivity–temperature–depth (CTD) observations at the continental slope off Spitsbergen (81°30′N, 31°00′E) is used to demonstrate a significant hydrographic seasonal signal in Atlantic Water (AW) that propagates along the Eurasian continental slope in the Arctic Ocean.

Horizontal and vertical distribution of mesozooplankton species richness and composition down to 2,300 m in the southwest Atlantic Ocean

Zoologia (Curitiba), 2014
We describe the species richness, distribution and composition of mesozooplankton over the continental shelf and slope, and in the water masses in the Campos Basin, southwest Atlantic Ocean. We analyzed the mesozooplankton from two oceanographic cruises (

Controls on dense-water formation along the path of the North Atlantic subpolar gyre [PDF]

Ocean Science
The North Atlantic subpolar gyre (SPG) plays a fundamental role in the global climate system through the formation of dense North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) as part of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation.

The response of drifting buoys to currents and wind [PDF]

, 1989
Two buoy types have been tested with respect to their drift performance under drogued and undrogued conditions. Additionally, forces acting on the buoys were measured directly.

Oceanic heat advection to the Arctic in the last Millennium [PDF]

, 2011
EGU2011-8738 At present, the Arctic is responding faster to global warming than most other areas on earth, as indicated by rising air temperatures, melting glaciers and ice sheets and a decline of the sea ice cover. As part of the meridional overturning

Formation and propagation of great salinity anomalies [PDF]

, 2003
North Atlantic/Arctic ocean and sea ice variability for the period 1948–2001 is studied using a global Ocean General Circulation Model coupled to a dynamic/thermodynamic sea ice model forced by daily NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data [Kalnay et al., 1996 ...

Potential for seasonal flood forecasting in West Africa using climate indexes

Journal of Flood Risk Management
Floods are among the most devastating natural disasters and are expected to become more severe with changing climate and population growth. Flood forecasting is one of the key components of flood risk reduction.

Frontal structures in the West Spitsbergen Current margins [PDF]

Ocean Science, 2013
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 branches of the West Spitsbergen Current create the Atlantic domain borders ...

Net community production in the North Atlantic Ocean derived from Volunteer Observing Ship data [PDF]

, 2014
The magnitude of marine plankton net community production (NCP) is indicative of both the biologically driven exchange of carbon dioxide between the atmosphere and the surface ocean and the export of organic carbon from the surface ocean to the ocean ...
