Water Masses Variability in Inner Kongsfjorden (Svalbard) During 2010–2020 [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Kongsfjorden is an Arctic fjord located in the Svalbard archipelago. Its hydrography is influenced by the warm and saline Atlantic Water (AW) in the West Spitsbergen Current and the cold and fresh Polar Water circulating on the shelf.

Comparative analysis of prokaryotic communities, hydrography, and biogeochemistry in Atlantic vs non-Atlantic influenced Svalbard fjords [PDF]
BMC MicrobiologyBackground Fjords in Svalbard are undergoing significant changes due to climate warming. Those along the west coast of Spitsbergen are particularly affected by the increasing influence of “warm” Atlantic Water (AW), a process known as Atlantification. We

Fish in Kongsfjorden under the influence of climate warming
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 IntroductionKongsfjorden is being impacted by climate warming, which has fostered the increase of abundance of Atlantic fish (e.g. Atlantic cod, Gadus morhua), fish that are non-endemic for Kongsfjorden.

Covariance of Marine Nucleocytoplasmic Large DNA Viruses with Eukaryotic Plankton Communities in the Sub-Arctic Kongsfjorden Ecosystem: A Metagenomic Analysis of Marine Microbial Ecosystems [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2023 Nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs) infect various marine eukaryotes. However, little is known about NCLDV diversity and their relationships with eukaryotic hosts in marine environments, the elucidation of which will advance the current ...

Ecosystem metabolism and nitrogen budget of a glacial Fjord in the Arctic [PDF]
Scientific ReportsFjords in the Arctic are changing rapidly due to multiple factors including increasing air temperatures, the influx of Atlantic Water (Atlantification), sea-ice loss, retreat of tidewater glaciers, increased freshwater discharges, pollution and tourism ...

Case studies of the wind field around Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard, using unmanned aircraft
Polar Research, 2022 The wind field in Arctic fjords is strongly influenced by glaciers, local orography and the interaction between sea and land. Ny-Ålesund, an important location for atmospheric research in the Arctic, is located in Kongsfjorden, a fjord with a complex ...
