| Abstract | Long-term changes and inter-annual variability in inorganic nutrient concentrations of the Skagerrak Coastal Water (North Sea off Arendal, Norway) were studied. The Jutland Coastal Water mass and the Kattegat Surface Water mass both contribute 75% and 25%, respectively, to the Skagerrak Coastal Water. Inorganic nutrient levels in Jutland Coastal water have been increasing since the 1980s, with nitrate levels and the nitrogen:phosphorus ratio nearly doubling. Most of this increase is caused by contributions from German Bight Water-a parent water of Jutland Coastal Water. Large inter-annual variability in nitrates is due partly to river runoff. Phosphates and silicates are less variable, and probably are not as heavily influenced by river runoff as nitrates are. |
