The three-dimensional biogeochemical model ECOHAM was applied to the Northwest European Shelf (47141 0 –63153 0 N, 1515 0 W–13155 0 E) for the years 1993–1996. Nitrogen budgets were calculated for the years 1995 and 1996 for the inner shelf region, the North Sea (511,725 km 2). Simulated temperature...
