ecological properties at interannual-to-decadal time scales long time series of the North Atlantic Oscillation, the sea surface temperature, air temperature, sea level anomaly, provides a marine ecosystems have recently been focus of for coastal and marginal seas (e.g., Dippner and Ottersen, 2001 and Hunt et al., 2002 for the southeastern Bering Sea, Reid et al., 2001 for the North Sea, Kang et Journal of Marine Systems 60 (considerable attention. The climate-induced changescomposite representation of the dominant mode of regional climate variability, and explains 46 % of the total variance. The results point to a very efficient coupling between the anthropogenic and climatic forcing for driving the dramatic ecosystem changes observed during the 1980s and 1990s.
