Modelling Salt Transport in Baltic Basins
نویسندگان
چکیده
Water quality models combine fluid-flow relations with biological regressions, all on a spatially complex domain. For many applications, a computationally simple lumped parameter model with regressed parameters suffices, while for others where a more fundamental approach may be worth the extra development and computational effort. A simple example modelling the transport of salt in interconnected basins is used to illustrate and compare different modelling approaches.

Hydro-economic modelling of cost-effective transboundary water quality management in the Baltic Sea
Helcom's recently revised Baltic Sea Action Plan (BSAP) aims to reduce eutrophication in the, Baltic Sea by reducing nutrient loads from all discharging drainage basins. The BALTCOST costminimisation, model, featuring abatement cost and effect functions which utilise spatial data down to, 10 10 km grid cell resolution, is used to identify a cost-effective distribution of nutrient abatement, mea...
متن کاملNitrogen cycle of the Baltic Sea from an isotopic perspective
[1] Stable nitrogen isotope ratios (N/N; dN) were determined in sediments, suspended matter, and water at selected sites in the Baltic Sea area in order to set up a source budget and trace the fate of anthropogenic N sources. Sediments of the shallow near-coastal area of the southern and eastern Baltic Sea have an average dN of 7.3 ± 2.1%, interpreted as a characteristic trace of residual anthr...
متن کاملComposition and Transformation of Dissolved Organic Matter in the Baltic Sea
The processing of terrestrial dissolved organic matter (DOM) in coastal shelf seas is an important part of the global carbon cycle, yet, it is still not well understood. One of the largest brackish shelf seas, the Baltic Sea in northern Europe, is characterized by high freshwater input from sub-arctic rivers and limited water exchange with the Atlantic Ocean via the North Sea. We studied the mo...
متن کاملModelling the exceptional Baltic Sea inflow events in 2002–2003
[1] During 2002 and 2003 exceptional inflow events have been registered. In January 2003 a massive inflow of highly saline, cold and extremely oxygen-rich water from the North Sea was recorded at Darss Sill. This event is considered to be the most important inflow since 1993. A coupled model system for the Baltic Sea region, called BALTIMOS, was developed in the frame of DEKLIM/ BALTEX by linki...
متن کاملInvestigation of active tectonics in Koohrang region with a special look at the behavior of Koohrang salt dome
Introduction Changes in land surface shape in active tectonic zones result from interplay between tectonic forces and surface processes (Keller and Pinter, 1996; Keller et al., 1999). Salt Domes are dome-shaped Geological structures whose central core is composed of salt. Their economic importance is due to the location of oil tanks in structures with salt domes and also the presence of sulf...
