Description

This release includes:

  1. An Ecopath model of the Sourthen Bight of the North Sea (SBNS).
  2. A calibrated Ecosim model. Three submodels of the Ecosim model under three climate scenarios with projections up to 2100.
  3. A spatially explicit Ecospace model. Four sub models used for the investigation of climate change, offshore wind farm and combined effects.

For all model modules, we provide also the scripts used for processing input/output data.
