From Kriegers Flak to Hiddensee

Location A, southeast of Kriegers Flak—a shoal of less than 20 m depth north of Riigen—is the northernmost position of a section of four ADCP moorings aligned between the Kriegers Flak and Hiddensee, a small island east off immediately Riigen (see A-D in Fig. 6.1). The section represents simultaneous current measurements of about 215 days with one interim replacement of the ADCPs on 27 July that lasted only a few hours. 

The data presented in Tables 6.10 and 6.11 are averaged over the total observation period of 215 days, the statistics of the two original time series—before and after the replacement

At the southernmost position (D, Table 6.11) near the island of Hiddensee, the water depth is only 14 m. The highest means for magnitude and speed occur near the surface, and both decrease with increasing depth from 28-20 cm/s and 10-2 cm/s, respectively. The same holds for the stability that decreases from 36% at 4 m to 9% at 10 m depth. The averaged flow
