Beschreibung
The North Sea is a shallow shelf sea with a deep trough along the Norwegian coast with depth exceeding 700 m locally. Its physical status, primarily characterised by temperature and salinity, is to a large extent determined by the exchange of water masses with the Atlantic at its open northern boundary. There is also a link to the Atlantic via the English Channel which is important for the shallow southern North Sea. The Baltic Sea is linked to the North Sea via Skagerrak, Kattegat, Great and Little Belt, and The Sound. The Baltic outflow with its low saline water influences significantly the oceanographic conditions of the Skagerrak and Norwegian Coastal Current. Other drivers are inter alia continental river run-offs, the ocean-atmosphere heat exchange, and the rate of precipitation to evaporation.
