Kommentar:	The effect of potential wind farms in the Western Baltic is investigated with a focus on the additional mixing caused by the foundations. The key question is to which extent these wind farms may affect the inflow of oxygenated waters from the North Sea that are crucial for the Baltic ecosystem. The project includes field observations and an extensive modeling program.
