The coupling between the dynamics and the biology in the North Sea

In stratified waters there may be a close connection between the dynamics and the biology of the water masses. Recent research suggests that this circumstance is responsible for the fact that the North Sea is among the world's most important with respect to the production of fish. The project aims at studying this possible close connection by considering the course of the thermal stratification in the North Sea and the abundance of cod larvae for the past 40 years.
