【 摘 要 】

From October 2002 until March 2003 surprisingly warm, oxygenated waters were frequently encountered in theBaltic Sea in the area between the Bornholm and Fårö Deeps from the halocline down to the bottom.Owing to their ventilation effect in the stagnating deep waters, their occasional observations have partly been incorrectlyattributed to the inflow events of October 2002 or January 2003. The emergence of some of these waters can betraced back to the exceptional summer weather conditions in August and September 2002 in central Europe. The warmwaters played a remarkable renewal pacemaker role for the subsequent important winter inflow of January 2003.The evolution of this summer inflow is described and possible causes are discussed.
