The Arctic land areas have experienced greater warming over the last
three decades than elsewhere in the world. In Europe the Svalbard
archipelago (located in the North Atlantic sector of the Arctic Ocean
from 74° to 81°N and 10° to 35°E) have experienced the
greatest temperature change during this period. At Svalbard airport the
mean annual air te...

Observations gathered in the deep sea west of Svalbard reveal oscillations in temperature and salinity during winter months. Longer time-series collected in the Arctic Ocean are essential to identify and analyse anomalies and events that can affect global circulation and climate.
The Arctic is a region that is expected to experience a high increase in temperature. Changes in the timing of phenological phases, such as the onset of growth (as observed by remote sensing), is a sensitive bio-indicator of climate change. In this paper, the study area was the central part of Spitsbergen, Svalbard, located between 77.28 N and 78.4...
Water mass generation and mixing in the eastern Fram Strait are strongly influenced by the interaction between Atlantic and Arctic waters and by the local atmospheric forcing, which produce dense water that substantially contributes to maintaining the global thermohaline circulation. The West Spitsbergen margin is an ideal area to study such proces...
Ten warm-core winters were distinguished in the period 1975/76-2007/08, drawing on data from the Svalbard Airport weather station in central Spitsbergen and using the conditions t(m-1) <t(m) and t(m) > t(m+1) (t is the monthly mean temperature while(m-1), (m) and(m+1) denote subsequent winter months) and the parameter of a coreless rate, c(r) (the...
