In 2014, the situation in the deep water was changed by the effects of three moderate resp. weak inflows in autumn 2013, February and March 2014 (cf. Table 1). Although none of these three events fulfilled the typical characteristics of a major Baltic inflow, they produced a novel complex interaction reaching the Gotland Deep in late May and oxygenated its deep water briefly for the first time since 2003. In December, the third largest major Baltic inflow on record since 1880 occurred (cf. Fig. 2). Effects can be seen mainly in 2015 (NAUMANN & NAUSCH, 2015, NAUSCH et al., 2015).
