Acknowledgements The presented results were obtained in the framework of the BalticWay
project, which was supported jointly by the funding from the Estonian Science Foundation and the
European Commission’s Seventh Framework Programme (FP7 2007–2013) under grant agreement
No. 217246 made with the joint Baltic Sea research and development programme BONUS. The
follow-up research was partially supported by the Estonian Science Foundation (grant No. 9125),
targeted financing by the Estonian Ministry of Education and Research (grant SF0140007s11), and
by the European Regional Development Fund via support to the Centre of Excellence for Nonlinear Studies CENS.
