About: Windwatt

An Entity of Type: Abstraction100002137, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

A Windwatt is a mudflat exposed as a result of wind action on water. They occur especially in the Western Pomerania Lagoon Area National Park on Germany's Baltic Sea coast. The term is German. Unlike the Wadden Sea along Europe's North Sea coast, the shallow water zones of the Western Pomerania Lagoon Area National Park are largely unaffected by oceanic tides. When there are strong winds in a certain direction, however, water is driven out of the lagoons (the so-called bodden) into the Baltic Sea, so that several particularly shallow areas of mud become exposed and dry out. The water flows back when the wind turns again. These Windwatten are a major source of food for migrating birds in the autumn. For the Crane, which cross Western Pomeranian bodden country during migration, the Windwatte

dbo:abstract
  • Ein Windwatt ist jener Teil des Litorals, der infolge Windeinwirkung zeitweilig trocken fällt. (de)
  • Un windwatt es una marisma expuesta como resultado de la acción del viento sobre el agua. Ocurren especialmente en el parque nacional del Área de la Laguna de Pomerania Occidental en la costa alemana del Mar Báltico. El término es alemán.​ A diferencia del Mar de Wadden a lo largo de la costa europea del Mar del Norte, las zonas de aguas poco profundas del parque nacional del Área de la Laguna de Pomerania Occidental no se ven afectadas en gran medida por las mareas oceánicas. Sin embargo, cuando hay fuertes vientos en cierta dirección, el agua es expulsada de las lagunas (los llamados bodden) hacia el Mar Báltico, de modo que varias áreas de lodo particularmente poco profundas quedan expuestas y se secan. El agua fluye hacia atrás cuando el viento gira nuevamente.​ Estos windwatts son una fuente importante de alimento para las aves migratorias en otoño. Para las grullas, que cruzan la región occidental de Pomerania durante la migración, los windwatts son una de las áreas de descanso más importantes de Europa occidental. (es)
