Model concentrations of winter nitrate, growing season chlorophyll-a and monthly minimum oxygen for the Northwest European Shelf Seas derived from simulations of the Nucleus for a European Model of the Ocean (NEMO) coupled to the European Regional Seas Ecosystem Model (ERSEM).
Data for mean conditions between 1998 and 2007 and for 2010 are derived from a reanalysis (https://resources.marine.copernicus.eu/?option=com_csw&view=details&product_id=NWSHELF_MULTIYEAR_BGC_004_011, accessed May 2021).
Climate projections for mean conditions from 2005 to 2015 and from 2045 to 2055 are for the RCP8.5 climate scenario (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3953801).

Provenance & quality

This dataset is based on two NEMO-ERSEM simulations for the Northwest European Continental shelf.

The reanalysis study was conducted using E.U. Copernicus Marine Service Information: https://resources.marine.copernicus.eu/?option=com_csw&view=details&product_id=NWSHELF_MULTIYEAR_BGC_004_011. Validation of the reanalysis data is in https://catalogue.marine.copernicus.eu/documents/QUID/CMEMS-NWS-QUID-004-011.pdf (accessed May 2021). An evaluation of the RCP8.5 climate projection is described by Wakelin et al. (2020) (https://doi.org/https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pocean.2020.102400).
