Jonas Nycander is a Professor of Physical Oceanography at Stockholm University's Department of Meteorology (MISU), where he has worked since 2000. His research spans multiple oceanographic domains with a particular focus on physical ocean processes and their connections to climate systems.
Dr. Nycander's research interests encompass several critical areas of ocean science. His work on tidal-driven internal waves examines energy transfer mechanisms in the ocean. He investigates ocean circulation dynamics by projecting flows onto different coordinates to determine mechanical versus thermal driving forces. A significant portion of his research focuses on the nonlinear equation of state of seawater and its impact on global water mass distribution. Additionally, he explores the ocean carbon system's role in atmospheric CO2 concentration during ice ages, the direct effects of carbon dioxide on vegetation, and climate economics.
His recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on ocean circulation dynamics, particularly overturning circulation and tidal energy conversion. His work shows increasing sophistication in modeling techniques and data integration, with recent papers incorporating Argo float data and advanced ocean modeling. The research spans from theoretical frameworks examining wave propagation and energy conversion to applied studies on climate impacts and carbon cycling. A consistent thread through his work is the examination of how physical processes drive larger climate systems.
Dr. Nycander has been actively involved with multiple research groups at MISU, including those focused on circulation and the land-ocean-atmosphere connection, the North Atlantic and Arctic Ocean, and the Oceanography of the Baltic Sea. His work appears to involve both theoretical modeling and analysis of observational data, suggesting a comprehensive approach to physical oceanography research. He has also collaborated on research related to stratospheric thermodynamic cycles, indicating interdisciplinary reach beyond traditional oceanography.
