Omtale fra Den Norske Bokdatabasen
The book gives a summary of our current knowledge of the physical/chemical properties and dynamics of the Norwegian coastal current. In a series of chapters, geography, currents and water masses and the temporal and spatial variability of the Norwegian coastal current are introduced.
Omtale fra forlaget
The Norwegian Coastal Current originates primarily from the freshwater outflow from the Baltic and the freshwater run-off from Norway. It flows northwards along the coast of Norway as a low-salinity current. The Norwegian coastal region is the spawning ground for a number of important oceanic fish stocks, and the physical environment has an impact on the recruitment, growth and geographical distribution of these stocks. In the late 1920s and early 1930s, the Institute of Marine Research in Norway established a coastal oceanographic observation system. This continued to evolve, and its core elements are still in operation. Drawing on the results generated by this observation system, as well as by other coastal studies, this book reviews our current understanding of physical/chemical conditions in the Norwegian Coastal Current in such a way as to make the material more easily accessible to non-specialists. A series of chapters introduce readers to the geography, currents and water masses and the temporal and spatial variability of the Norwegian Coastal Current. Interannual fluctuations in physical conditions are most likely to be the prime cause of ecosystem variability.
