North Sea: general information
The North Sea is a shallow shelf sea of the Atlantic Ocean that washes the shores of northern Europe. Located between the British Isles in the west, the Jutland Peninsulas, the Scandinavian Peninsulas in the east, and continental Europe in the south.
The surface water temperature in February (minimum) ranges from 2 ° C in the Skagerrak to 7.5 ° C in the northwest, and in August (maximum) - from 12.5 ° C to 18 ° C, respectively; this is in particular due to the influence of the warm North Atlantic Current, which comes here from the Norwegian Sea. It is noticeably colder on the border with the Baltic. The salinity of the water is 32-34.5 ppm in coastal waters and reaches 35 ‰ in the open sea. In the east, the salinity of the North Sea is noticeably lower due to the influx of cold and less saline waters of the Baltic, as well as the confluence of such large rivers as the Rhine, Elbe, Weser, Scheldt and Thames.
Throughout the year, western, south-western and north-western sea winds prevail, bringing frequent fogs and rains, and then the waves raised by gusts of wind reach 6-7 m, and off the coast of Scotland - 11 meters, which greatly complicates navigation. Tide heights range from 0.2 m off the coast of Norway to 7.6 m off the coast of England; sea currents are oriented counterclockwise and move at a speed of about 1 km / h.
