Oxygen depletion in the western Baltic Sea is not uncommon. Oxygen-poor conditions regularly occur in deeper waters, placing stress on marine ecosystems and, in extreme cases, causing fish kills. As ocean temperatures continue to rise due to climate change, the challenges may become more severe in the future. To better predict such developments, researchers rely on numerical ocean models.
