..., in a balance with computational effort increase. Results revealed that the main circulation features are arranged on three main modes given by: a) large–scale current circulation; b) densitydriven bottom currents, leading to increased currents near the seabed, which are expected to have an impact...

... Horizontal density changes in the sea have the potential to drive extreme bottom currents. The focus in this paper is on sill overflows of Atlantic water from the Norwegian Trench into Fensfjorden in Western Norway. Fensfjorden is used for routing pipelines to the oil terminal at Mongstad...
