Data sets
Daily runoff and nutrient loads for the North Sea and the Baltic Sea based on modelling and observations for the period 1961 to 2019 and adapted to NEMO-SCOBI Ruvalcaba Baroni et al. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10185658
Short summary
The health of the Baltic and North seas is threatened due to high anthropogenic pressure; thus, different methods to assess the status of these regions are urgently needed. Here, we validated a novel model simulating the ocean dynamics and biogeochemistry of the Baltic and North seas that can be used to create future climate and nutrient scenarios, contribute to European initiatives on de-eutrophication, and provide water quality advice and support on nutrient load reductions for both seas.
The health of the Baltic and North seas is threatened due to high anthropogenic pressure; thus,...
