The Gulf of Riga is one of the main subbasins of the Baltic, coupled through one shallow and one deep (the sill depth in Virtsu is 5 and in Irbe 35 meter) strait. The fresh water flux to the gulf from river Daugava is one of the highest in the Baltic. Nevertheless, the average gulf salinity is …

Results of 13-year hindcast simulations for the period 1980-1993 are presented using a 6 nm version of RCO (the Rossby Centre Ocean model). The coupled ice-ocean model for the Baltic Sea with open boundary in northern Kattegat is forced with realistic atmospheric forcing and river runoff. The …

As mixing plays a dominant role for the physics of an estuary like the Baltic Sea (seasonal heat storage, mixing in channels, deep water mixing), different mixing parameterizations for use in 3D Baltic Sea models are discussed and compared. For this purpose two different OGCMs of the Baltic Sea are …

Since July 2004, a system for hydrological ensemble forecasting has been operational at SMHI. The system uses meteorological ensemble forecasts of precipitation and temperature from ECMWF as input to the hydrological HBV model, which generates an ensemble of discharge forecasts. In this report, the …
