Ocean Dynamics on the Northwest European Shelf: From Coastal Processes to Climate Drivers

Session ID#: 255850

Session Description:
The Northwest European Shelf (NWES) is a region of complex physical oceanography. Interactions between tides, stratification, shelf-break processes, riverine input and atmospheric forcing drive dynamic variability on scales from days to decades. This session invites contributions that advance our understanding of physical processes in the NWES through observations, modelling, and integrated approaches. We welcome studies addressing circulation patterns, stratification, coastal-shelf-open ocean exchanges, ecosystem states and drivers of respective ecosystem changes, and responses to climate variability. Contributions that explore extreme events, such as marine heatwaves or storms, and their physical drivers are also encouraged.

This session is timely, given ongoing efforts to keep and enhance current observing networks, improve regional modelling systems, exploit existing databases and identify gaps in our understanding. As the NWES is critical to regional ecosystems and economies, fostering collaboration between observational and modelling communities is essential identifying important physical stressors and their impact and addressing pressing scientific and societal challenges.
