The bottom water in the Baltic Sea may be renewed when denser water from the North Sea is transported through the Sound and the Danish sounds and then further into the various deep-water basins. The size of the maximum volume of the inflows over the sills, and the subsequent mixing with the Last updated:

January 2003. The Baltic Proper Surface water temperatures varied between 1 and 3 oC. This is somewhat below normal for the season. The thermocline and halocline were coincident and began in the Arkona Basin at a depth of ca. 20 metres. In the remainder of the Baltic Proper they began at depths between 40 Last updated:
