Short summary
Climate change influences estuaries and their ecosystems not only by rising temperatures but also by salinity changes. This modeling study highlights the magnitude and causes of the Baltic Sea salinity sensitivity to fresh water forcing and changed ocean salinity. The large sensitivity to increased fresh water forcing is shown to be caused by dilution of fresh water within the estuary, recirculation of much of the outflow water back into the estuary, as well as decreasing inflows of ocean water.
