FRACTAL - Future Resilience for African Cities and Lands

ClimateResearch
-making space in the FRACTAL cities and looks for opportunities to better incorporate climate information into local decision-making contexts. WORK PACKAGE 3 Advances understanding of physical climate processes that govern the regional system (observed and simulated). From this it develops robust and scale Last updated:

, the eastern stations were dominated by small colony forming cyanobacteria and the western stations had a community with both of these groups represented in almost equal amounts. The integrated (0-10 m) chlorophyll a concentrations were normal for this month with an exception of the western stations Last updated:

Cruise report from R/V Argos week 36-38, 2004

ReportsOceanography
In the Skagerrak 11 stations with complete hydrography were taken. In the Kattegatt mapping of oxygen conditions in bottom water was performed, 12 stations with complete hydrography and 11 with oxygen and salinity near bottom were sampled. The lowest oxygen concentration measured in the bottom Last updated:

Board of Fisheries Cod Investigation Programme, BITS (Baltic International Trawl Survey,) and covered parts of the Baltic Proper. Salinity and oxygen measurements were taken near bottom at 34 stations. Hydrogen sulphide was detected at 6 of these. Western Gotland Basin Oxygen conditions at the bottom Last updated:

Cruise report from R/V Argos week 3, 2010

ReportsOceanography
Surface water temperatures were very low (below zero) in the whole area. Surface salinities were also much below normal. They increased from 21 psu in the Baltic current close to coast to 28 psu in the central part. The thermocline was well defined and coincided with the halocline; both starting at 10 Last updated:

Cruise report from R/V Argos week 33, 2010

ReportsOceanography
Surface water temperatures were normal in the Skagerrak, Kattegat and in most of the Baltic Proper. Nutrient levels in surface water were normal throughout the investigated area except in the Arkona Basin where silicate was slightly low. In the the Baltic Proper oxygen concentrations below 2 ml Last updated:

integrated (0-10 m) chlorophyll a concentrations were normal for this month. The Baltic Sea was mainly dominated by colonies of small cyanobacteria and other small unicells. Large diatoms were common in the Eastern and Southern part of the Baltic Sea. The integrated (0-10 m) chlorophyll a concentrations were Last updated:

EUCP: European Climate Prediction system

ClimateResearch
involves simulations with convective-permitting regional climate models operated on the km-scale. SMHI is also involved in work packages on “Development of an interannual-to-decadal climate forecast system”, “Producing uncertainty quantifications/PDFs and realizations of future climate on time Last updated:

Cruise report from R/V Argos week 29, 2010

ReportsOceanography
Surface water temperatures were normal in the Skagerrak, while it was above normal in the Kattegat and Baltic Proper. Nutrient levels in surface water were normal throughout the investigated area. In the main part of the Baltic Proper oxygen concentrations below 2 ml/l were observed at depths Last updated:
