Large areas with massive grain occurrences or streaks of surface accumulations were found in the south western part of the Baltic Sea (fig A and B). Larger Last updated: Jul 21, 2019

This cruise was not a full cruise with phytoplankton sampling at only three west coast stations and three stations in the Baltic Sea. The west coast stations Släggö and Anholt E displayed relatively high biodiversity. The coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi was found at high cell numbers at both Last updated: Oct 12, 2018

This sampling occasion was not a full cruise with all phytoplankton stations, only one west coast phytoplankton station and six in the Baltic Sea were sampled. The west coast station (Anholt E), displayed an autumn bloom community with several species of dinoflagellates, as well as some diatoms Last updated: Sep 28, 2018

integrated chlorophyll concentrations were within normal for this month. In the Baltic Sea sampling at RefM1V1 had to be cancelled due to military exercise. In general, both cell numbers and species diversity were low on all Baltic stations, except at BY2 where the diatoms Cerataulina pelagica and Last updated: Nov 06, 2019

chlorophyll concentrations were high in the surface water, but the integrated (0-10 and 0-30 meters) numbers were normal for January. The phytoplankton community was in its winter rest in the Baltic Sea. Only small cells were present like cryptomonads, pico cyanobacteria colonies and ciliates. The chlorophyll Last updated: Jan 31, 2019

phytoplankton community in the Baltic Sea was in general dominated by Mesodinium rubrum, small cryptomonads and the genus Dinobryon. The potentially toxic genus Dinophysis was present at all stations. The integrated (0-20m) chlorophyll a concentrations were varying from lower than normal to normal for this Last updated: Apr 23, 2014

simultaneously with the heterotrophic dinoflagellate P. danica, causing elevated chlorophyll concentrations. In the Baltic Sea, spring bloom was observed at BY5 in the southern and BCSIII-10 in the eastern Proper Baltic with high cell numbers of diatoms and the dinoflagellate Peridiniella catenata. The species Last updated: Apr 24, 2019

low in the Baltic Sea. Species from the diatom genus Coscinodiscus were common or present in all regions of the Baltic Sea. The integrated (0-10 m) chlorophyll a concentrations were normal for this month in the Skagerrak, the Kattegat and the Baltic Sea. Last updated: Nov 10, 2014

Nodularia spumigena* were present at many stations and Dolichospermum sp. were found at BY38 and RefM1V1. As in Skagerrak and Kattegat, the chlorophyll concentrations in the Baltic Sea were low but within normal for June. Last updated: Jun 25, 2019

A new cooperation between SMHI and the Finnish SYKE has started. This is the first AlgAware with data from samplings with the Finnish ship R/V Aranda. All phytoplankton samples from the Skagerrak, the Kattegat and the Baltic Sea contained low species diversities and all of the cell counts were low Last updated: Apr 23, 2014
