Abstract
Common features of the three relatively isolated Euro-Asian Seas are reviewed to evaluate their sensitivity to climatic or anthropogenic change. The projection of the effects of Global Change occur through physical linkages, mediated by global, basin-scale and meso-scale processes, which need to be better unterstood for better forecasts, Prominent inter annual / interdecadal signals and large scale controls are evident, anti in some cases the changes are of a magnitude detected for the first time in the history of modern observations.
