| Abstract | The processes contributing to the deep water renewal and oxygen balance of Pohja Bay are reviewed here, with reference to the extensive experimental material from the years 1990-1993. The observations reveal previously unreported frequent minor inflows of sea water into the bay. A one-dimensional diffusion model is introduced and applied to computation of the diffusion-corrected biological oxygen sink during apparent deep water stagnation periods; the sink is evaluated as 0.06 ± 0.01 mg l -1 d -1 . The results are summarized in a conceptual description of the physical processes underlying the estuarine circulation and oxygen balance of the bay. |
