Effects of Eulerian current, Stokes drift and wind while simulating surface drifter trajectories in the Baltic Sea by Ove Pärn, Lina Davulienė, Diego Macias Moy, Kaimo Vahter, Adolf Stips, Tomas Torsvik

“…By making these considerations, the OceanParcels model could adequately simulate particle trajectories in the sub-basins within the Baltic Sea. The realized model tests showed that motion of surface drifters are strongly controlled by the Stokes drift when the significant wave height is >1 m, whereas the wind component and the Eulerian currents are crucial when the significant wave height is <0.6 m or the wave (Stokes drift) directions do not match the wind direction.…”

Benthic Macrofauna Community Bioirrigation Potential (BIPc): Regional Map and Utility Validation for the South-Western Baltic Sea by Mayya Gogina, Judith Rahel Renz, Stefan Forster, Michael L. Zettler

“…Benthic community bioirrigation potential (BIPc), an index developed to quantify the anticipated capacity of macrofauna to influence the solute exchange at the sediment–water interface, was calculated for the south-western Baltic Sea. This index can be regarded as an effect trait that is useful for predicting ecosystem processes impacted by animal burrow ventilation. …”
