Advective processes linked with minor inflow events in March and June 1996 supplied the deep water of the Bornholm and Gdańsk Deeps with small amounts of oxygen. Conditions in the central Baltic deep water deteriorated due to the continued stagnation. H2S was observed in the Gotland and Fårö Deeps for the first time since 1994. An intensive inflow in the beginning of November, which just failed the criteria for a MBI, transported water with salinities of 26 and 20 g/kg across the Drogden and Darss Sills respectively (MATTHÄUS et al., 1996, 1997).
