At Å17 in open Skagerrak, the phytoplankton diversity was high with the potentially fish toxic genus Pseudochattonella*, the diatom Guinardia delicatula and cryptomonadales as the most numerous organisms. At Släggö, the diversity was very low and cryptomonadales and ciliates was found with the …

SMHI will participate in the annual research conference European Geosciences Union General Assembly in Vienna. This year SMHI's researchers will participate in various events within our disciplines of meteorology, hydrology, oceanography and climate.

During the cruise, which is part of the Swedish pelagic monitoring program, the Skagerrak, Kattegat, the Sound, and the Baltic Proper were visited. In addition to SMHI's regular sampling, during the cruise, a monitoring buoy was deployed at Huvudskär, and Uppsala University's measuring instruments …

The expedition was included within SLU:s International Bottom Trawl Survey and covered the Skagerrak and the Kattegat.

Mapping of winter nutrient conditions was performed in the Skagerrak at 13 stations where complete hydrography were sampled, and 12 stations with only CTD. In the Kattegat area 11 …

EUMETSAT, Europe’s meteorological satellite agency, monitors the weather and climate from space. Sweden is one of EUMETSAT’s member states and the SMHI uses data supplied by its fleet of Earth observation satellites.

In the Skagerrak, the diversity of phytoplankton was low, especially at the outermost station, Å17. In the Kattegat however, the number of species and the total cell numbers were higher than in the Skagerrak area. Among the diatoms, Guinardia delicatula was the most numerous species, while …

Dust from sandstorms in desert areas degrades air quality even over long distances and can cause other problems for society as well. At the same time, scientists find it difficult to study and describe these processes with sufficient accuracy, without interference from other aerosols. But now they …

The aim of the project is to evaluate and improve numerical models that can describe dust-emissions in both air quality and climate models using observations.

Due to an error, the indicator "Longest heatwave" has been redone. In connection to that, the indicator name was changed to ”Longest period of summer days”. 
 

During the expedition, which is part of the Swedish pelagic monitoring program, the Skagerrak, Kattegat, the Sound and the Baltic Sea were visited. In the Baltic Proper, the annual mapping of nutrients was also carried out.

Due to severe weather during the first day of the expedition, two stations …
