Written by well-known experts, this revealing book concentrates on long-term changes in the Baltic Sea?which can be extrapolated to shed light on the environmental problems of other shelf seas, brackish seas, and large estuaries?thereby contributing to our understanding of water exchange processes, eutrophication, and climatic impacts at the forefront of international concern. 606 $aClimatic changes$zBaltic Sea 606 $aMarine meteorology$zBaltic Sea 607 $aBaltic Sea 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aClimatic changes 615 0$aMarine meteorology 676 $a551.46/1334 676 $a551.461334 701 $aFeistel$b Rainer$0948463 701 $aNausch$b Gu?nther$0986807 701 $aWasmund$b Norbert$0986808 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910145285703321 996 $aState and evolution of the Baltic Sea, 1952-2005$92255256 997 $aUNINA
