Major Baltic inflow information


The Baltic Sea saltwater inflow, known as the major Baltic inflow (MBI), refers to a significant influx of saline water from the North Sea into the Baltic Sea through the Danish straits. In the Baltic Sea, dense seawater from the North Sea sinks to the bottom and moves along the seabed, displacing the often oxygen-depleted water in the deep basins. Simultaneously, it transports new oxygen-rich water to the deep basins. These inflows are crucial for the Baltic Sea's ecosystem because they alleviate the oxygen depletion that commonly occurs in the deep basins of the poorly mixed sea, and at the same time, they prevent eutrophication caused by internal nutrient loading.

The two-layer circulation of the Baltic Sea presented as a schematic figure. Major Baltic inflows (MBIs) bring saline water from the North Sea to the Baltic Sea through the Danish straits. Dense ocean water sinking to the depths of the Baltic Proper advances northward along the seafloor, displacing the low-oxygen water present in the deep basins.
