with existing surface observations show very good agreement, especially in the summer half of the year. some problems are indicated in the winter season when a minor underestimation of cloudiness is noticed. The underestimation is mainly due to the non-separability of low-level water clouds from cloud Last updated:

In the deep basins around Gotland, there was no oxygen from 70-80 m. In the Eastern Gotland Basin, hydrogen sulphide levels increased rapidly to record levels Last updated:

In Bornholm Basin mainly lower layer salinity is affected indicating reduced salt water inflow through the Danish Straits. Key Last updated:
