NW European shelf under climate warming: implications for open ocean – shelf exchange, primary production, and carbon absorption

Shelves have been estimated to account for more than one-fifth of the global marine primary production. It has been also conjectured that shelves strongly influence the oceanic absorption of anthropogenic CO<sub>2</sub> (carbon shelf pump). Owing to their coarse resolution, currently...
