Low-Frequency Baltic Sea Level Spectrum

Low-frequency Atlantic sea level variability

The control run of the Hadley Centre-coupled climate model (HadCM3) is used to establish the sources of multidecadal/ centennial sea level (SL) variations in the northwest Atlantic. It is shown that variations in the sea level for the largest part of this area are related to variations in the thermohaline structure of the upper (c 500 m) part of the ocean. Temperature variations dominate steric...

BIAS Implementation Plan Monitoring and assessment guidance for continuous low frequency sound in the Baltic Sea

Introduction: Baltic Sea Agriculture

A research report from the Swedish Environmental Advisory Council, titled A Strategy for Ending Eutrophication of Seas and Coasts, argues that the Baltic Sea is facing an ecological flip, associated with changes characterized by excessive algal bloom and a fishing industry in crisis (MVB 2005). Eutrophication may be the most severe of the consequences faced by the Baltic Sea. According to HELCO...

Baltic Sea Typology Editors

This article is an update and extension of an earlier publication (SCHERNEWSKI & WIELGAT 2004). Intensive public discussions suggested slight modifications in the typology as well as an updating and completion of comparisons between our typology and the national typologies. We further show examples how the water body concept can be applied to subdivide coastal water types as a response to exter...

Modelling sea level variability in different climates of the Baltic Sea

Within the Baltic Sea Region INTERREG IIIB project `Sea level change affecting the spatial development in the Baltic Sea region' (SEAREG, 2002-2005) sea levels in past and future climate were investigated based upon 6-hourly regional model results. The main factors affecting the longterm mean sea level in the Baltic Sea are the land-uplift, the eustatic sea level rise, and the water balance of ...
