      Diapausing populations of Calanus finmarchicus at depth in the Lofoten Basin (LB) return to the continental shelf and slope off the Lofoten-Vesterålen Islands during the phytoplankton spring bloom to feed and spawn, forming surface swarms with a great abundance. To study how overwintering populations of C. finmarchicus move with the deep currents and return to the shelf, Lagrangian transport ...
    • Surface chlorophyll anomalies induced by mesoscale eddy- wind interactions in the northern Norwegian Sea 

      Dong, Huizi; Zhou, Meng; Raj, Roshin Pappukutty; Smith, Walker O; Basedow, Sünnje Linnéa; Ji, Rubao; Ashjian, Carin; Zhang, Zhaoru; Hu, Ziyuan (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-29)
      The substantial productivity of the northern Norwegian Sea is closely related to its strong mesoscale eddy activity, but how eddies affect phytoplankton biomass levels in the upper ocean through horizontal and vertical transportmixing has not been well quantified. To assess mesoscale eddy induced ocean surface chlorophyll-a concentration (CHL) anomalies and modulation of eddywind interactions in ...
    • Transport Barriers and the Retention of Calanus finmarchicus on the Lofoten Shelf in Early Spring 

      Dong, Huizi; Zhou, Meng; Hu, Ziyuan; Zhang, Zhaoru; Zhong, Yisen; Basedow, Sünnje Linnéa; Smith Jr., Walker O. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-08-02)
      Large aggregations of the copepod Calanus finmarchicus occur each spring in the shelf-slope-oceanic regions off the Lofoten-Vesterålen Islands where productive fisheries have traditionally supported local economies. The retention and off-shelf transport of populations of C. finmarchicus populations were studied by analyzing ocean color remote sensing, satellite altimetry data, and Lagrangian Coherent ...
