The weather during the first part of the expedition was dominated by strong northerly winds while during the later part weak to moderate winds from south to southwest dominated. Nutrient concentrations were at typical winter levels in all areas. High oxygen saturation and high fluorescence values …

High concentrations of nitrogen associated with continental river water was found in the south eastern and eastern Skagerrak surface water and at intermediate water in the Kattegatt.

The weather was dominated by moderate winds from south to southwest. The sea surface temperatures as well as the surface nutrient concentrations were normal for the season. The spring-bloom had not yet started in any area. The bottom water at station BY4 in the Bornholm Basin was oxygenated; …

The surface temperatures varied from 9.5°C in the Skagerrak to 5°C Bothnian Bay. Due to the very mild autumn the surface temperature in the Kattegat exceeded the normal values with 2°C and in the Baltic with 3.5°C . The nutrient concentrations were generally normal for the season with a few …

The temperatures varied between 9.3°C in the northern Batlic proper and 12.5°C in the Skagerrak. Nutrient concentrations were generally normal for the season with a few exceptions. The bottom water oxygen deficiency in the southeastern Katteagatt was restored to normal oxygen concentrations. In …

The water near the bottom of Laholmsbukten and Skälderviken had an oxygen content of 0.10 and 0.38 ml/l respectively. In the Sound there was less than 2 ml/l from 15 meters and deeper at W Landskrona. Surface temperatures varied between 13.4 and 15.1°C. Nutrient concentrations were normal for …

Low oxygen concentrations were found in the Laholm Bay 0.16 ml/l, in Skälderviken, 0.64 ml/l and in the Sound, just around 1 ml/l. In the rest of Kattegat, bottom water oxygen concentrations varied between 2 and 4.5 ml/l, highest in the northern part.

Surface temperatures varied between 15.5 and 17.5°C. Nutrient concentrations were normal for the season, nitrite and nitrate below detection limits (0.02 and 0.10 μmol/l repectively). Posphate between 0.02 and 0.3 μmol/l and silicate from 0.3 μmol/l in the Skagerrak to 10 μmol/l in the Baltic. …

The surface temperatures were between 14.3 and 17.7°C. Nutrient concentrations were normal for the season in mainly all areas. In the Skagerrak the surface salinity was <30 psu at the coastal stations and >32 at the western stations of the Å transect . In the Kattegatt the surface salinity ranged between 20 and 21 psu. Oxygen …

The surface temperatures were between 14 and 16°C. Nutrient concentrations were normal for the season in mainly all areas. In the Skagerrak the surface salinity was >30 psu with exception of the easterly station of the Å cross section, where the salinity was 24 psu depending on the transit of the …
