The Marginal Ice Zone (MIZ) forms a critical transition region between the ocean and sea ice cover as it protects close further in from effect of steepest most energetic open waves. As waves propagate through MIZ, they get exponentially attenuated. Unfortunately, associated attenuation coefficient is difficult to accurately estimate model, there are still large uncertainties around which mechanisms dominate depending on conditions. This makes challenging predict attenuation, well effective...
Detailed water kinematics are important for understanding atmosphere-ice-ocean energy transfer processes in the Arctic. There few situ observations of 2D velocity fields marginal ice zone. Particle tracking velocimetry and particle image well known laboratory techniques measuring fields, but they usually rely on fragile equipment pollutive plastic tracers. Therefore, order to bring these methods field, we have developed a new system which combines compact open-source remotely operated...
Increased research interest and economic activity in the Arctic raise need for new observations of sea ice dynamics. Remote sensing as well mathematical numerical models wave propagation would benefit from more situ data validation. This study presents measurements marginal zone (MIZ) obtained ship mounted sensors. The system combines altimeter readings bow with motion correction to provide estimated single point ocean surface elevation. Significant height mean period, one-dimensional...
In this study, a performance test has been performed on 200 W marine wind turbine, both in tunnel, and mounted Wavescan ocean buoy coastal location near Trondheim. Long term data satisfying the DNV-RP-C205 recommended practice for describing environmental conditions loads have extracted from Eklima database subordinated Norwegian Meteorological Institute selected called Sula weather station outside of coast. 10 years one-month Trondheim formed basis monthly energy estimates at site.

Increased knowledge about energy dissipation processes around colliding ice floes is important for improved understanding of atmosphere-ice-ocean transfer, wave propagation through sea ice, and the polar climates. The aim this study to obtain such information by investigating floe dynamics in a large-scale experiment directly measuring quantifying turbulent kinetic (TKE). field work was carried out at Van Mijen Fjord on Svalbard, where 3 × 4 m sawed fast ice. Ice collisions relative...
The motivation for this study is to investigate the abilities and limitations of a Nortek Signature1000 acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) regarding fine-scale turbulence measurements. Current profilers offer advantage gaining more coherent measurement data than available with point measurements, it desirable exploit property in laboratory field applications. ADCP was tested towing tank, where generated from grid towed under controlled conditions. Grid-induced well-studied phenomenon...
Increased economic activity and research interest in the Arctic raise need for better wave forecasts marginal ice zone (MIZ).
