Enhanced melting of Northern Greenland in a warm climate

In a new study from the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research, scientists show how the northern part of the Greenland ice sheet might be very vulnerable to a warming climate

The SKD days 2012 wil be held on November 28-29 and will gather the Bjerknes climate research community with members of the international Scientific Advisory Committee specially invited for the occasion.

Norway continues to support research on climate change

The Norwegian government increases its support to climate change research by increasing SKD´s annual budget with 5 mill NOK.

A fruitful collaboration at summer school

A group of early career scientists discussed climate model results and proxy data at the ACDC 2011 summer school, and decided to condense the discussion to a short article. The article was published in the beginning of April.

Understanding Atlantic and Pacific jet stream fluctuations

A recent study by Bjerknes Centre scientists demonstrates the link between observed fluctuations of atmospheric jet streams and the theoretical concepts that describe why jet streams exist.

Wind and sea surface height reveal changes in warm water inflow

The flow of warm water from the northern North Atlantic to the Nordic Seas is important for the regional climate. It contributes to the mild temperatures in our region and supplies nutrients to the marine ecosystem. By means of sea surface height observations it is possible to estimate a large part of the variability of the inflow, also back in time.
