WP10:• S10.1.3: Quantify the potential effects on shelf seas-coastal
climate and ecosystem from global climate change predictions (IMR, DMI, Univ-GDA)
Objective: downscale the predicted future climate to shelf seas by running the models used in Task 10.1 for several years several decades into the future with forcing from the coupled climate prediction models, and produce similar monthly averages as in Task 10.1.

The SRES A1B scenario for the period 2072–2097 with the Bergen Climate Model (BCM) has been downscaled for the marine climate in the North Sea using the Regional Ocean Model System (ROMS). The results are compared to the 20C3M run for the period 1972–1997.
