The Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS) Ocean State Report (OSR) provides an annual report of the state global ocean and European regional seas for policy decision-makers with additional aim increasing general public awareness about status of, changes in, marine environment. CMEMS OSR draws on expert analysis a 3-D view (through reanalysis systems), from above remote-sensing data) direct interior in situ measurements) seas. is based unique monitoring capabilities blue...
The benthic environment is a crucial component of marine systems in the provision ecosystem services, sustaining biodiversity and climate regulation, therefore important to human society. With contemporary increase computational power, model resolution technological improvements quality quantity data, it necessary ensure that are appropriately represented coupled benthic-pelagic biogeochemical ecological modelling studies. In this paper we focus on five topical challenges related various...

The new approach to model the oxygen dependent phosphate release by implementing formulations of penetration depths (OPD) and mineral bound inorganic phosphorus pools Swedish Coastal Ocean Biogeochemical (SCOBI) is described. dynamics concentrations in Baltic proper sediment are studied during period 1980–2008 using SCOBI coupled 3D-Rossby Centre model. Model data compared observations from monitoring stations experiments. impact consumption on determination OPD found be largest coastal...
The aphorism, ‘All models are wrong, but some useful’, originally referred to statistical models, is now used for scientific in general. When presenting results from a marine simulation model, this statement effectively stops discussions about the quality of as there always another observation mismatch, and thereby confirmation why model cannot be trusted. It common that observations less challenged often viewed ‘gold standard’ judging whereas proper interpretations true value overlooked....
Expanding hypoxia is today a major threat for many coastal seas around the world and disentangling its drivers large challenge interdisciplinary research. Using coupled physical-biogeochemical model we estimate impact of past accelerated future global mean sea level rise (GSLR) upon water exchange oxygen conditions in semi-enclosed, shallow sea. As study site, Baltic Sea was chosen that suffers from eutrophication dead bottom zones due to (1) excessive nutrient loads land, (2) limited with...
Abstract Eutrophication and climate change will affect habitats of species more generally, the structure functioning ecosystems. We used a three‐dimensional, coupled hydrodynamic‐biogeochemical model to investigate potential future changes in size location marine during 21 st century large, eutrophicated brackish sea (the Baltic Sea, northern Europe). conducted scenario projections under combined impact nutrient load change. Possible eutrophication state this were also assessed through two...
Dissolved oxygen in the sea is essential for marine fauna and biogeochemical processes. Decline water concentration considered to be an effect of eutrophication, also exacerbated by climate change. The Baltic Sea one most eutrophic seas world located northern Europe. It a vulnerable, brackish, semi-enclosed sea, suffering from high pressures human activity. This leads increased hypoxic anoxic areas, which can used as measure environmental state. In present study extent (O 2 < 0 ml l...
Climate change influences the ocean's physical and biogeochemical conditions, causing additional pressures on marine environments ecosystems, now in future. Such changes occur that already today suffer under from, for example, eutrophication, pollution, shipping, more. We demonstrate how to implement climate into regional spatial planning by introducing data of future temperature, salinity, sea ice cover from ocean model projections an existing cumulative impact model. This makes it possible...
Abstract. The Swedish Coastal zone Model (SCM) was used at a test site, the Stockholm archipelago, located in northern part of central Baltic Sea, to study retention capacity coastal filter on nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) loads from land atmosphere. efficiency permanently retain nutrients determines how much local nutrient actually reach open sea. SCM system is nutrient–phytoplankton–zooplankton–detritus-type model coupled horizontally integrated, physical particular suitable for...
Redox-sensitive mobilization of nutrients from sediments strongly affects the eutrophic state central Baltic Sea; a region associated with spread hypoxia and almost permanently anoxic sulfidic conditions in deeper basins. Ventilation these basins depends on renewal by inflow water enriched oxygen (O2) North Sea, occurring roughly once per decade. Benthic fluxes column distributions dissolved inorganic nitrogen species, phosphate (PO43-), carbon (DIC), sulfide (HS-) total uptake (TOU) were...
In this study, the average nutrient filter efficiency of entire Swedish coastline is estimated to be about 54% and 70% for nitrogen phosphorus, respectively. Hence, significantly less than half input from land (defined as river discharge point sources) can assumed exported coastal waters open sea. However, some areas retained more 100% load thus, also Baltic Sea water. These with effective filtering nutrients have low per unit area. The was calculated a 30-years model simulation (1985-2014)...
