The North Atlantic meridional overturning circulation and its variability are examined in terms
of the overturning in density space and diapycnal water mass transformation. The magnitude …

Water mass transformation in the Nordic and Barents Seas, triggered by air-sea heat fluxes,
is an integral component of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). These …

Abstract The Lofoten Basin of the Norwegian Sea is characterized by a local maximum of
eddy kinetic energy and it is an important transit region for the warm and saline Atlantic …

Ocean microstructure, current, and hydrography observations from June 2016 are used to
characterize the turbulence structure of the Lofoten Basin eddy (LBE), a long-lived …

In this study, we investigate eddy dynamics in the northern Greenland Sea and the Fram
Strait using AVISO altimetry, spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR), and Finite Element …

The standard view of the overturning circulation emphasizes the role of convection, yet for
waters to contribute to overturning, they must not only be transformed to higher densities but …

Ocean vortices are an important regional agent of water transport and cross‐frontal
exchange. This study is a first attempt to compare statistics of 3D properties of mesoscale …

Abstract The Lofoten Basin is the most eddy rich region in the Norwegian Sea. In this paper,
the characteristics of these eddies are investigated from a comprehensive database of …

In this research temperature and salinity profiles in eddy‐centered coordinates obtained
from satellite altimetry (eddy data set distributed by Archiving, Validation and Interpretation …

The Lofoten Basin in the Norwegian Sea is the area where the warm Atlantic Water exhibits
the greatest loss of heat than anywhere else in the Nordic Seas. It is called a" hot spot" of the …
