Introduction to the Modelling of Marine Ecosystems, Second Edition provides foundational information on the construction of chemical and biological models - from simple cases to more complex biogeochemical models and life cycle resolving model components. This step-by-step approach to increasing the complexity of the models allows readers to explore the theoretical framework and become familiar with the models even when they have limited experience in mathematical modeling. Introduction to the Modelling of Marine Ecosystems shows how biological model components can be integrated into three dimensional circulation models and how such models can be used for numerical experiments.

The key for understanding critical processes of the marine carbon cycle is the knowledge of the seawater carbonate chemistry, including equilibrium and nonequilibrium properties and stable isotope fractionation. This book features the equilibrium properties of the carbonate system and nonequilibrium properties of the seawater carbonate chemistry.

Teams of researchers (from Basque Institutes and Universities) combine to present the state of knowledge, within a global context, of processes ranging from sub-seabed to air-sea interaction - incorporating data on the associated biology and pollutant sources and levels. The latter are compared with regional, national and European legislation.

Presents the systematization and description of accumulated knowledge on oceanic fronts of the Norwegian, Greenland, Barents and Bering Seas. This book contains information on the oceanic fronts of the Subarctic Seas, a brief history of their investigation, and detailed description of the thermohaline structure of all frontal zones in this area.

Presents proceedings of 3rd EuroGOOS Conference on Building the European Capacity in Operational Oceanography. This title covers topics such as: Regional Systems I, Remote Sensing Systems, Numerical Modelling and Data Assimilation, Next Generation Systems, In-Situ Monitoring, Waves Monitoring and ForecastingUser Perspectives, and Coastal Systems.
