Constraining energetic slope currents through assimilation of high-frequency radar observations by A. K. Sperrevik, K. H. Christensen, J. Röhrs

“…We consider both an idealized case, with a baroclinic slope current in a periodic channel, and a realistic case for the coast of Vesterålen in northern Norway. In the realistic case, the results of the data assimilation are compared with independent data from acoustic profilers and surface drifters. …”

Advection of Mesozooplankton Into the Northern Svalbard Shelf Region by Paul Wassmann, Dag Slagstad, Ingrid Ellingsen

“…It is suggested that mesozooplankton encountered on the shelf north of Svalbard may derive from populations along the North Norwegian shelf break, in some years as far south as the Lofoten/Vesterålen region. This illustrates the extent and significance of the Atlantic advective contiguous domain for the European shelf of the Arctic Ocean which apparently depends on significant food supply through expatriates. …”
