In 2007, five barotropic inflow events could be observed. Esp. the near-bottom layer from the Bornholm Basin to the Gdańsk Deep was ventilated repeatedly. These inflows could only shortly improve the oxygen situation in the eastern Gotland Basin with traces of oxygen (0.02-0.04 ml/l) at 225 m in May. Already in autumn, high H2S concentrations were found again and, at the end of the year, the whole water column below 137 m was anoxic. In the western Gotland Basin the stagnation continued undiminishedly (NAUSCH et al., 2008).
