ABSTRACT

An analysis is presented of repeated density and current profiles and recording current meter (RCM) data collected off the northwest coast of Gotland Island (Baltic Sea) during the late summer and fall of 1977. Large, low-frequency fluctuations were found in alongshore flow and isopycnal displacements and were significantly correlated with winds observed at Gotland's west coast. The best correlations were found with winds from the island's southern tip rather than with local winds. Coherence was high between RCM current fluctuations at 70 and at 90 m (100 m water depth, 4 km from ...
