Abstract

The basic physical and dynamical features of the Gulf of Finland, a shallow elongated estuary-like water body in the north-eastern extremity of the Baltic Sea, are introduced. The hydrography of this water body is characterized by a large spatio-temporal variability in salinity and temperature, both in vertical and horizontal directions. The gulf receives a large amount of fresh water due to the River Neva and experiences intense water exchange through an open connection with the main Baltic basin. The circulation dynamics has been shown to be very complex in the gulf. Pronounced variations in forcing functions contribute to this complexity together with rapidly changing hydrography and the complex bottom topography. The small internal Rossby radius makes the gulf particularly challenging for numerical modelling exercises—high resolution models are needed to adequately describe its circulation patterns where mesoscale eddies, fronts, specific mixing conditions and optional ice cover are the most important players.

Nächstes Kapitel TRACMASS—A Lagrangian Trajectory Model

From now on we follow the nomenclature recommended in Leppäranta and Myrberg (2009) and use the Northern Gotland Basin (see Fig. 2.1 in Chap. 2) to denote the northern part of the Baltic Proper.

Although the salinity unit ‰ (per mill) is discouraged since 1978, it has been customary in a large part of the oceanographic and popular literature to use this notion. We only use this unit in data and estimates extracted from older sources. Note that since January 2010, the seawater standard EOS-80 is obsolete. The new international standard TEOS-10 uses absolute salinity values in g/kg (Millero et al. 2008) rather than psu. This choice has the advantage that volumes of sea water can be properly converted to masses of salt contained, which is not the case for psu as Practical Salinity is not a mass fraction by definition.

The North Atlantic oscillation (NAO) is a climatic phenomenon in the northern Atlantic Ocean. It is characterized by the NAO index, which is the difference of atmospheric pressure at sea level between the Icelandic low and the Azores high.

The numerical values for the water age substantially depend on the choice of the ‘outer’ basin, which was the North Sea in Meier (2005) and the Northern Gotland Basin in Andrejev et al. (2004b).
