Baltic sub-basin turnover times examined using the Rossby Centre Ocean Model

Article Abstract:

The relevance of standard mass-balance models based on conservative quantities is investigated for two typical sub-basins of the Baltic by comparing the results obtained from a 3-dimensional numerical circulation model. The mass-balance budget approach worked well for systems fulfilling the classical prerequisites where the control volume is subject to pronounced topographical constraints.

Modeling water exchange and contaminant transport through a Baltic coastal region

Article Abstract:

The coastal location of Forsmark (Sweden) was used to study the methods based on passive tracers, particle trajectories and the average age distribution of exogenous water parcels that were compared for a representative one-year cycle. It was seen that the backward in time trajectories and average age-times were basically equipollent methods.

The Baltic haline conveyor belt or the overturning circulation and mixing in the Baltic

Article Abstract:

A methodology that makes it possible to assess the consequences of a future climatic change on the Baltic Sea circulation is presented. The path of the saline North Atlantic water into the Baltic, and the fresh surface waters from the river runoff as they mix and create the brackish Baltic water is identified.
