Wind-driven circulations in the southwest Baltic

Pages 272-283 | Received 30 Jun 1977, Published online: 15 Dec 2016
 

Abstract

Wind-driven circulations in the southwest Baltic are analyzed with reference to the combined effects of topography and stratification. Numerical results from a multi-layer nested model are compared with observations taken during the spring of 1975. It appears that the bathymetry and stratification of the southwest Baltic lead to substantial coupling of topographic and baroclinic effects.
