zonal atmospheric flow, causing elevated water levels in the southern 
Baltic Sea. The pressure pattern on 29 January 1983: a successive 
low-pressure trough which - within the intensive zonal air flow - moved 
across the North and Baltic Seas in the days preceding the storm surge 
on 2-4 February 1983 32
