The Lofoten Drift, Norwegian Sea

Geological Society, London, Memoirs, 2002
Abstract The Lofoten Contourite Drift is located below c . 1000 m water depth on the continental slope off northern Norway. It has a maximum thickness of about 360 m and correlation to published seismic stratigraphy implies a Neogene age.

Evolution of the Norwegian-Greenland Sea

Geological Society of America Bulletin, 1977
Geological and geophysical data collected aboard R/V Vema during five summer cruises in the period 1966 to 1973 have been used to investigate the geological history and evolution of the Norwegian-Greenland Sea. These data were combined with earlier data to establish the location of spreading axes (active as well as extinct), the age of the ocean floor ...

An aeromagnetic survey of the Norwegian Sea

Journal of Geophysical Research, 1968
An aeromagnetic survey of the marine area from 20°E to 15°W and 60°N to 73°N has been completed. Total intensity and residual intensity contour charts show the presence of a linear magnetic pattern paralleling the mid-oceanic ridge in the Norwegian Sea. The aeromagnetic charts are supplemented by bathymetric and shipboard magnetometer data.

Norwegian Sea ecoregion – fisheries overview

2019
The largest landings in this ecoregion are by Norway, the Russian Federation (Russia henceforth), Faroe Islands, and Iceland, mainly by pelagic fisheries. Other nations also have fisheries in the area. The number of fishing vessels is declining while the size of the remaining vessels is increasing.

Norwegian Sea ecoregion ? Ecosystem overview

2017
Key SignalsWater flowing into the Norwegian Sea from the south has been colder and fresher in 2016–2020 than previously, but overall cooling has been limited due to reduced heat loss driven by increased strength of westerly winds bringing in warmer air.Annual estimates of the spring and summer net primary production have remained stable in the ...

Climatic fluctuation in the Greenland and Norwegian Seas

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 1953
AbstractDecadal means of air and sea temperature for the year, the month of July and for the season December to March were computed from ships' observations for the sea areas between 60°N. and 70°N. between Greenland and Norway. The climatic fluctuations in different parts of the area are compared.

Crustal Structure in the Norwegian Sea

Nature Physical Science, 1971
WE wish to report a seismic refraction study of the Norwegian Deep Sea Basin which has given results differing markedly from the predictions of the classical oceanic crust model1.

The Norwegian Sea as a mediterranean basin

Deep Sea Research and Oceanographic Abstracts, 1970
Abstract The Norwegian Sea is considered as a typical mediterranean basin for which an inflow of light, surface water is required to balance the overflow of deep, dense water formed by the action of the atmosphere at the sea surface within the basin. Water and heat budgets are presented for the Norwegian Sea.

Margins of the Norwegian-Greenland Sea

1974
The continental margins in the Norwegian-Greenland Sea consist of rifted and sheared segments that are related to the initial opening of the ocean. Parts of the rifted margins are characterized by basement highs underlying the lower continental slope.

The Norwegian Sea during the Cenozoic

2005
Based on 2D seismic surveys covering the entire Norwegian Sea (250 000 km 2 ), selected 3D surveys and an extensive well database, the Cenozoic depositional history for the area has been reconstructed. Significant amounts of sediments were fed to the Norwegian Sea during the Cenozoic, while, apart from a thin Quaternary cover, no Cenozoic sediments are
