Inflows are frequently able to ventilate the deep water in the Bornholm Basin. Thus, the basin contains oxygen in the depth since 2006. However, the intensity of four observed inflow events was, as in the years before, not strong enough to reach the central Baltic Sea. Salinity and temperature decreased further, with only small variations throughout the year. In the Gotland Deep, highest H2S concentration (-5.30 ml/l), was measured during the present stagnation period lasting since 2005 (cf. Fig. 3) (NAUSCH et al., 2014).
