Projects
The Nansen Center is a project oriented international research centre focusing on the basic research within marine environment and ocean forecasting, satellite remote sensing and climate studies and modelling. Our research is funded by projects granted through competitive calls by research councils, space agencies, EU, national and international government agencies, industry and private donations.
Some of our on-going research projects are listed below. The list is being populated with the most recent and on-going projects and later updated with other major completed research projects.
Ongoing Projects
AOIP
-
Sea Ice Modelling
This project is about improving our understanding of some atmosphere-ocean-ice interaction processes, as well as our ability to model them and their impact
BCPU
-
Enhance climate prediction to the level where it benefits society
CAATEX
-
Climate Dynamics and Prediction, Polar Acoustics and Oceanography, Scientific Data Management
During the MOSAiC drift, two sound sourcs in fixed moorings will transmit a signal which will be received on listen cables in 5 fixed moorings and four drifting drifting receivers hundreds of kilometers away from the sound sources.
INES
-
Climate Dynamics and Prediction
Devellopement of the Norwegian Earth System model in preparation for CMIP7.
Marine Data i Arktis
-
Polar Acoustics and Oceanography, Scientific Data Management
Dette prosjektet skal lage en dynamisk oversikt over relevante observasjons-systemer, datasamlinger og dataforvaltningssystemerfor Arktiske hav-områder og dermed øke nytteverdien av innsamlede data.
SFE
-
The aim of SFE is to develop a state-of-the-art operational seasonal climate prediction system for Northern Europe and the Arctic.
LEGACY
-
Sea Ice Modelling
The Nansen Legacy provides an integrated scientific knowledge base required for the sustainable management through the 21st century of the environment and marine resources of the Barents Sea and adjacent Arctic Basin.
UAK
-
Polar Acoustics and Oceanography, Scientific Data Management
Useful Arctic Knowledge - Partnership for Research and Education funded by the INTPART program.
RISES
-
This is a strategic project of the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research.
FRASIL
-
Sea Ice Modelling
On simulating leads in the Arctic sea ice using the new Lagrangian model neXtSIM, and on studying their impact on the ocean mixing, heat budget and primary production.

Completed Projects
TRAKT-2018
-
The majority of Nordic population is residing in complex urban environment. The concentrated emission of air pollutants, anthropogenic landscape and local climate modifications are lasting and have distant, often transboundary impact. -
GCloudl
-
Significant information from fragmented Russian polar expeditions and stations, need to be processed to improve our capacity to simulate, predict and communicate the vital environmental knowledge.
SIA
-
Sea ice age (SIA) is an indicator of changing sea ice state together with changing climate.
EmblAUS
-
Bayesian Data Assimilation
KARA3
-
Increase and further evaluate the forecast quality of the current neXtSIM-F forecasting platform, and improve the dissemination of the results to end-users.
DASIM
-
DASIM II follows the 1-year pilot project DASIM I and will explore the mathematical issues for assimilating data in modern sea-ice models
IMOS
-
IMOS will support long-term synergistic cooperation between Russian and Norwegian scientists working in Svalbard by establishing a joint marine plankton observatory in Isfjorden.
SNOWGLACE
-
Climate impact of Arctic sea ice and snow cover
iNcREASE
-
InCREASE seeks to improve projections of future sea level in the North Sea and along the Norwegian coast
SPICES
-
SPICES will develop new and innovative sea ice products that can be used as indicators of climate change in the polar ocean, as well as for securing operations in ice-infested waters.
