      James, Rachel; Bousquet, Philippe; Bussmann, Ingeborg; Haeckel, Matthias; Kipfer, Rolf; Leifer, Ira; Niemann, Helge; Ostrovsky, Ilia; Piskozub, Jacek; Rehder, Gregor; Treude, Tina; Vielstadte, Lisa; Greinert, Jens (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-05-17)
      Large quantities of methane are stored in hydrates and permafrost within shallow marine sediments in the Arctic Ocean. These reservoirs are highly sensitive to climate warming, but the fate of methane released from sediments is uncertain. Here, we review the principal physical and biogeochemical processes that regulate methane fluxes across the seabed, the fate of this methane in the water column, ...
    • Evidences of accelerating the increase in the concentration of methane in the atmosphere after 2014: satellite data for the Arctic 

      Yurganov, L. N.; Leifer, Ira; Vadakkepuliyambatta, Sunil (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Проанализированы результаты спутникового зондирования с помощью европейского орбитального интерферометра IASI/MetOP-A и алгоритма обработки данных, разработанного в NOAA. Спутниковые измерения для умеренных и высоких широт Северного полушария дают рост скорости концентрации метана от 4–9 ppbv/год (частей на миллиард по объему) в 2010–2013 гг. до 12–17 ppbv/год в 2015–2016 гг. Глобальные оценки на ...
    • Field demonstration of a novel towed, area bubble-plume zooplankton (Calanus sp.) harvesting approach 

      Grimaldo, Eduardo; Leifer, Ira; Gjøsund, Svein Helge; Larsen, Roger B.; Jeuthe, Henrik (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2010)
      This paper presents field experiment results of using a new technology to harvest copepods (Calanus sp.) in the ocean by bubble upwelling. Two largo-scale bubble rafts, a 21 m2 and a flexible 75 m2 bubble raft with tow parallel and perpendicular sparger elements, respectively, were field tested in areas with high, upper 25-m water column Calanus densities. Measured bubble-driven upwelling velocities ...
