This report documents the 2010 Coastal Radar Workshop organised by the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute with support from the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency. The aim of the report is to provide background information on coastal oceanographic radar for a wider professional …

A new drought warning system is being developed for parts of South Africa. The recently started project is focusing on producing forecasts and recommendations so as to better manage times of strain. The work is being done in close co-operation with local players.
 

This report is based on two cruises in December, covering the Baltic Sea and the Swedish West coast sampling stations. Typical winter situations were registered in the Kattegat and Skagerrak areas. The number of species was low, and the dinoflagelllate genus Ceratium and small flagellates were …

A new agreement with the Swedish Coastguard meant that only the Swedish west coast and south western Baltic Proper (Arkona and Bornholm Basins) were sampled. In Skagerrak and Kattegat, nutrient conditions were normal for the season, except in the south of Kattegat and the Sound, were phosphate …

In the investigated parts of the Baltic Proper, concentrations of phosphate were higher than normal, while inorganic nitrogen and silicate showed normal values. Oxygen concentrations below 2 ml/l (hypoxia) were found at depth exceeding 55 to 80 metres, while total lack of oxygen (anoxia) was …

In Skagerrak and Kattegat, nutrient conditions were normal for the season. In the Baltic Proper concentrations of phosphate and silicate were higher than normal in the southern and western parts, while inorganic nitrogen showed normal values. Hypoxic conditions were found at depths exceeding 60 …

A new agreement with the Swedish Coastguard caused a shorter cruise, consequently only the Swedish west coast and parts of the southern Baltic Proper (Arkona and Bornholm Basins) were visited. The species diversity was low and the cell density was high in the Skagerrak, small flagellates and …

A new agreement with the Swedish Coastguard meant that only the Swedish west coast and south western Baltic Proper (Arkona and Bornholm Basins) were sampled. In addition, due to problems with cranes on board, no CTD-measurements or zooplankton sampling could be carried out. In Skagerrak and …

When the thermometer hovers around the zero degrees Celsius mark, the risk of skidding on the roads increases. New statistics show that this type of temperature fluctuation has become more common virtually in northern Sweden during the past 50 winters.

A new agreement with the Swedish Coastguard caused a shorter cruise, consequently only the Swedish west coast and parts of the southern Baltic Proper (Arkona and Bornholm Basins) were visited. In addition, the weather situation in Skagerrak caused that Å17 was only partially sampled. The species …
