  • Ice algae as supplementary food rather than major energy source for the Barents sea zooplankton community 

    Kohlbach, Doreen; Hop, Haakon; Wold, Anette; Schmidt, Katrin; Smik, Lukas; Belt, Simon T.; Woll, Matthias; Graeve, Martin; Goraguer, Lucie Helene Marie; Foss, Øyvind; Assmy, Philipp Kurt Wolf (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-10-28)
    The Barents Sea is a hotspot for environmental change due to global warming. These changes impact the structure and functioning of the marine ecosystem year-round, and it is therefore important to gain knowledge on trophic relationships and the energy flow from primary producers, i.e., ice algae (sympagic algae) and phytoplankton (pelagic algae) to consumers over the entire seasonal cycle. By using ...
  • Assessing the Partial Hessian Approximation in QM/MM-Based Vibrational Analysis 

    Vesterås, Kim Jonas; Olsen, Jogvan Magnus Haugaard (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-10-18)
    The partial Hessian approximation is often used in vibrational analysis of quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) systems because calculating the full Hessian matrix is computationally impractical. This approach aligns with the core concept of QM/MM, which focuses on the QM subsystem. Thus, using the partial Hessian approximation implies that the main interest is in the local vibrational ...

  • Optimising Interannual Sea Ice Thickness Variability Retrieved From CryoSat-2 

    Nab, Carmen; Mallett, Robbie David Christopher; Nelson, Connor; Stroeve, Julienne; Tsamados, Michel (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-10-29)
    Satellite radar altimeters like CryoSat‐2 estimate sea ice thickness by measuring the returntime of transmitted radar pulses, reflected from the sea ice and ocean surface, to measure the radar freeboard. Converting freeboard to thickness requires an assumption regarding the fractional depth of the snowpack from which the radar waves backscatter (α). We derive sea ice thickness from CryoSat‐2 radar ...
