Outside of Greenland, we have related the DJF temperature decrease over the Barents Sea to interactions with the sea-ice cover, and changes in the time mean atmospheric circulation

The main stream of Atlantic Water (AW) flowing north to Fram Strait in the form of the West Spitsbergen Current (WSC) causes a dramatic reduc- tion of the sea-ice extent and

Our reconstructions unequivocally demonstrate that, despite warm climatic conditions and Atlantic Water influence, seasonal sea ice persisted throughout the early Holocene (up to

Analysis of the time series of fast ice extent shows that favorable conditions for expansion of fast ice seaward in winter and spring are met if the atmospheric circulation over

The wintertime atmospheric response to imposed sea-surface temperature and sea-ice extent changes in the Labrador Sea has been investigated by means of ensemble simulations with

The aim of this paper is to give a review of the current knowledge of the large-scale atmospheric circulation variability over the North Atlantic, and of the role of the

Due to decreasing catches by Norway in Division IV a and a reduction in the modelled inflow of Atlantic water to the North Sea in 1996 (Iversen et al. WO 1997) the Working
