Circulation and Contaminant Fluxes in the North Sea

Circulation and Contaminant Fluxes in the North Sea edited by Jürgen Sündermann.

In this publication you will find a comprehensive data set of the North Sea ecosystem, including the distribution and the fate of contaminants, their transport paths and their analysis by means of numerical models. This book presents the results of the interdisciplinary German research project ZISCH...
