The War at Sea 1916–1918
View through CrossRef
This chapter tackles the Battle of Jutland in May 1916. Prior to the battle, quiet primarily reigned in the North Sea after the Battle of Dogger Bank. However, the Admiralty caught wind of Reinhard Scheer designing to trap and sink a section of the Grand Fleet, so British commanders and John Jellicoe were ordered to intercept him. The chapter explains the aftermath wherein the Germans caused great inconvenience with the submarine campaign and Britain was required to ration food and restrict non-war cargoes to see them through. It also highlights how the Admiralty under Jellicoe were slow to implement and slow to extend the convoy system, so Lloyd George fired Jellicoe in June 1917.

Sensitivity of modeled atmospheric nitrogen species and nitrogen deposition to variations in sea salt emissions in the North Sea and Baltic Sea regions
Abstract. Coarse sea salt particles are emitted ubiquitously from the ocean surface by wave-breaking and bubble-bursting processes. These particles impact the atmospheric chemistry...
