The Analysis of Baroclinic Summer Inflows

The MBI in January 2003 and the temporal and spatial evolution of the Baltic deepwater renewal have been investigated in detail by Feistel et al. (2003b). The propagation of the saline and oxygen-rich water into the Baltic Sea and the ventilation of anoxic water between Bomhohn Basin and central Baltic were recorded by the Darss Sill measuring mast, the Arkona Basin buoy, a subsurface mooring in the Eastern Gotland Basin (cf. Chapter 3), and several research cruises. 

If a water mass with salinity 25 psu is horizontally separated from another one with 8 psu, which are typical values for the Great Belt (cf. Chapter 11), the excess pressure due to the density difference Ap at a depth of // 28 m is about Ap = App7/ a4kPa (gravity is 

THE INFLOW OF HIGHLY SALINE WATER INTO THE BALTIC SEA 

In the Bornholm Basin, which was filled with dense, cold water from the January MBI, the warm jet appeared on top of it. A very detailed study, by fortunate coincidence, of its passage over the Slupsk Sill was canied out by Paka et al. (2006), revealing even features of the
