  • Flow separation, dipole formation, and water exchange through tidal straits 
    Nøst, Ole Anders; Børve, Eli (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)
    We investigate the formation and evolution of dipole vortices and their contribution to water exchange through idealized tidal straits. Self-propagating dipoles are important for transporting and exchanging water properties ...
  • Observations and modeling of tidally generated high-frequency velocity fluctuations downstream of a channel constriction 
    Espenes, Håvard; Isachsen, Pål Erik; Nøst, Ole Anders (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)
    Abstract. We investigate data from an acoustic Doppler current profiler deployed in a constricted ocean channel showing a tidally dominated flow with intermittent velocity extrema during outflow from the constriction but ...
  • Rectified tidal transport in Lofoten–Vesterålen, northern Norway 
    Børve, Eli; Isachsen, Pål Erik; Nøst, Ole Anders (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)
    Vestfjorden in northern Norway, a major spawning ground for the northeast Arctic cod, is sheltered from the continental shelf and open ocean by the Lofoten–Vesterålen archipelago. The archipelago, however, is well known ...
  • Stokes drift induced by topographic waves over an enclosed basin shelf 
    Ghaffari, Peygham; Weber, Jan Erik H.; Nøst, Ole Anders; Drivdal, Magnus (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)
    The effect of the continental shelf wave on the flow field over the southern shelf of the Caspian Sea (CS) as the largest enclosed basin of the world, is investigated. Considerable currents with subinertial time scales are ...
  • The influence of topography on the stability of the Norwegian Atlantic Current off Northern Norway 
    Ghaffari, Peygham; Isachsen, Pål Erik; Nøst, Ole Anders; Weber, Jan Erik H. (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)
    The steep continental slope off the Lofoten–Vesterålen islands of northern Norway appears to be the source of the most intense mesoscale eddy field in all of the Nordic Seas. Here we use linearized two-layer shallow-water ...
