Abstract
Abstract The renewal of oxygen-rich water in the deep basins of the Baltic Sea depends mainly on the proper wind conditions. Strong westerly winds over the western Baltic yield an inclination in sea level from the Skagerrak to the Baltic Proper and strong inflow of saline and oxygen-rich water into the western Baltic. This water then penetrates into the Bornholm Basin. Numerical model runs show that northerly and easterly winds are necessary in order to transport these waters from the Bornholm Basin into the Gotland Basin. A comparison between model results and observations in the Bornholm Basin and in Stolpe Channel supports these results.
