A new study may lead to better forecasting of severe weather in polar regions. Cold air outbreaks over the ocean can be linked to large-scale weather patterns, and this leads the way to using new tools to forecast such events.

In a new study radioactive waste material from Sellafield and La Hague is used to shed light on ocean currents in the Nordic Seas, the Arctic Ocean, and the Atlantic Ocean, and to test the performance of an ocean model in this region.

In a new study scientists from the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research reveal great variability in temperature, salinity and flow of the cold water that sinks down the continental slope in the Weddell Sea.

On the edges of the Arctic ice cover, in the marginal ice zones, melting rates of sea ice are reduced due to molecular effects on the interface between the ice and the ocean.
