简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 The Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research has been conducting scientific monitoring of the Baltic Sea for more than 50 years. This book (edited by a physicist and oceanographer, a marine chemist, and a marine biologists at the Institute) brings together and summarizes the findings of the researchers from the Institute and other organizations for those years of monitoring and beyond. Chapters cover the general oceanography of the Baltic Sea; the history of long-term observations in the German maritime community of Warnem眉nde; the weather of the Baltic Sea; Baltic climate change; current observations in the Western Baltic Sea; sea state characteristics and tides; ice formation and classification; satellite-derived sea surface temperature for the period 1990-2005; the inflow of highly saline water into the Baltic Sea; the Baltic Atlas of Long-Term Inventory and Climatology monthly time series data for 1900-205; nutrient concentrations, their trends, and relations to eutrophication; trace metals in Baltic seawater; sedimentary records of environmental changes and anthropogenic impacts during the past decades; phytoplankton; macrophytobenthos; zoobenthos; fish stock development under hydrographic and hydrochemical aspects in the Baltic Sea fisheries; and description of the Baltic Sea with numerical models. The CD-ROM contains selected color figures from the text and supplementary material such as oceanographic reference data and long-term observational data on weather, sea level, ice cover, plankton, hydrochemistry, and hydrophysics.

Written by well-known experts, this revealing book concentrates on long-term changes in the Baltic Sea?which can be extrapolated to shed light on the environmental problems of other shelf seas, brackish seas, and large estuaries?thereby contributing to our understanding of water exchange processes, eutrophication, and climatic impacts at the forefront of international concern.
