Increasing numbers of regional climate change scenario assessments have become
available for the North Sea. A critical review of the regional studies has helped identify …

The potential impact of offshore wind farms through decreasing sea surface wind speed on
the shear forcing and its consequences for the ocean dynamics are investigated. Based on …

We present Nemo-Nordic, a Baltic and North Sea model based on the NEMO ocean engine.
Surrounded by highly industrialized countries, the Baltic and North seas and their assets …

Regional seas are potentially highly vulnerable to climate change, yet are the most directly
societally important regions of the marine environment. The combination of widely varying …

In this paper we clearly demonstrate that changes in oceanic nutrients are a first order factor
in determining changes in the primary production of the northwest European continental …

Shelves have been estimated to account for more than one-fifth of the global marine primary
production. It has been also conjectured that shelves strongly influence the oceanic …

Studies on what controls phytoplankton in shallow coastal seas are increasingly important in
the context of current climate change. We analysed the daily long term data for Helgoland …

The operational principle of offshore wind farms (OWF) is to extract kinetic energy from the
atmosphere and convert it into electricity. Consequently, a region of reduced wind speed in …

It has long been recognised that there are strong interactions and feedbacks between
climate, upper ocean biogeochemistry and marine food webs, and also that food web …

We examine the trends and variability in temperature of the northwest European shelf seas
over the period 1960–2004 using four approaches: a regional model simulation (using the …
