Free traveling Rossby wave normal modes (RNMs) are often investigated through large-scale space-time spectral analyses, which therefore is subject to observational availability, especially in the mesosphere. Ground-based mesospheric observations were broadly used to identify RNMs mostly according to the periods of RNMs without resolving their horizontal scales. The current study diagnoses zonal ...

The discovery of an amber bead and an unusual type of slate knife at a site near Tromsø, Norway instigated reflection upon inter-regional mobility and possible travel routes in northern Fennoscandia. In combination with finds near Kilpisjärvi, Finland, these early Neolithic objects found far from their main distribution area allow us to suggest that the Torne River and its connected waterways provided ...

This is a preliminary study of the potential for sourcing asbestos minerals used as temper in ceramics from Early Metal Age sites in Finnmark, northern Norway. Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS/EDX) is used to analyze samples from geological sources and archaeological sites. Although tempers were highly portable, the results of the analysis mostly indicate local procurement, however non-local ...

For more than five decades, research has been conducted at Ny-Ålesund, in Svalbard, Norway, to understand the structure and functioning of High-Arctic ecosystems and the profound impacts on them of environmental change. Terrestrial, freshwater, glacial and marine ecosystems are accessible year-round from Ny-Ålesund, providing unique opportunities for interdisciplinary observational and experimental ...

Høsten 1944 iverksatte den tyske okkupasjonsmakten operasjon «Nordlicht», også kjent som «den brente jords taktikk». De materielle ødeleggelsene og de menneskelige omkostningene var enorme. Selve ødeleggelsene og operasjonen er godt dokumentert, men ikke de langsiktige samfunnsmessige og politiske konsekvensene. I denne artikkelen bruker vi to kausale design, endring-i-endringer og den syntetiske ...

The concept of availability importance measures can be used to identifying critical components from the availability performance point of view. The availability of an item depends on the combined aspects of its reliability and maintainability performance indices. These indices are considerably affected by operational and environmental conditions such as; ambient temperature, precipitation, wind, ...

Awareness is growing on the significance of overdeepenings in ice sheet systems. However, a complete understanding of overdeepening formation is lacking, meaning observations of overdeepening location and morphometry are urgently required to motivate process understanding. Subject to the development of appropriate mapping approaches, high resolution subglacial topography data sets covering the whole ...

Bibliotek yter hjelp med digitale gjøremål i hverdag som i krisetider.1 Brukere av folkebibliotekene verden over trenger hjelp med mye annet enn å finne riktig bok, for eksempel hjelp med digitale tjenester eller verktøy.

The notion of authenticity seems to have grown more and more important for artistic documents during the last decades. Critics are using the term as a kind of distinction; an authentic novel or film is a good novel or film. Authenticity in these cases does not mean questioning the novel or film as an original work of art; rather, what is meant by authenticity is the relationship between reality and ...

This paper discusses the role of libraries in the implementation of the Norwegianization policy towards the Sámi and Kven minorities in Norway. This question has not been written about or debated in the library history of Norway. The hypothesis is that the libraries had a dual function: they were both seen as an instrument of Norwegianization by the government, but were simultaneously places where ...
