saltwater-freshwater interface


Explanation:
Frontenbildung=Front oder Frontensystem

This is the area where saltwater and freshwater meet. There is usually a high concentration of nutrients what leads to high biological productivity (food for the birds).

In der Deutschen Bucht ist die Zusammensetzung des Wassers und dessen Qualität maßgeblich durch das Zusammentreffen von Süßwasser aus den großen Flüssen und salzhaltigem Seewasser der offenen Nordsee bestimmt. Daraus resultiert eine FRONT mit scharfem Salzgradient zwischen dem Wasser, welches der Elbe entstammt und einen Salzgehalt von ...... und dem gemischt ästuarinen Nordseewasser mit einer Salinität von 32 bis 34 psu. Diese Front verläuft entlang der 20 m Tiefenlinie auf einer Breite von bis zu 10 km und ist quasi-stabil.

Der Bestand breitet sich aber weiter nördlich in die AWZ aus. Im Frühjahr verlagert sich der Bestand der Seetaucher nach Norden und reicht auch weiter in die AWZ hinein. Diese Dynamik ist von der **Frontenbildung** im Nordseewasser abhängig.
