A reoccurring conclusion from recent studies of the atmospheric impact on sea-ice reduction is the anomalously large convergence of atmospheric heat and moisture and the enhancement of downwelling longwave radiation from enhanced cloudiness. Here, the clear-sky atmospheric greenhouse effect is …

River Torne is partly a border-river between Finland and Sweden and is often struck by flooding problems. With physical planning and preventive actions, as well as efficient and relevant rescue activities during flood situations, damages can be limited. Detailed flood maps are tools for this …

An ensemble of decadal simulations with actualised forcing covering the 1960-2015 decades has been performed with the Earth System Model EC-EARTH. The data will be provided into the CMIP5 archive, and their analysis will investigate several actual aspects of decadal predictability.

The integrated (0-20 meters) chlorophyll a concentrations were within normal for the season at most of the Skagerrak and Kattegat sampling sites. One interesting exception was Släggö with lower concentrations than normal but with a very high cell density in the phytoplankton sample that was …

The weather during the first part of the expedition was very rough with gale and heavy seas. At the visited stations in Kattegat, Skagerrak and the Sound nutrient concentrations showed normal values for the season. Lower silicate concentrations was found in south eastern and eastern Baltic proper. …

This summer, blooms of cyanobacteria were observed for more than two months period, from 29 June to 5 September. During 30 days from the 7 July, extensive blooms were seen, but the most massive accumulations stayed away this year. The Gulf of Bothnia, which usually blooms in August, also had an …

This report only comprises results from analysis of phytoplankton. An extended version containing results from chlorophyll a measurements will be available in the beginning of next week. A quite scarce community was found at the outer station Å17 in the Skagerrak area while the inner station Släggö …

The phytoplankton diversity was generally low in the Skagerrak and Kattegat areas. Small species like Cryptomonads and Chrysochromulina spp. dominated the samples. A few diatoms were found with moderate cell numbers at Släggö (Skagerrak coast) and in the Kattegat. The dinoflagellate Prorocentrum …

The phytoplankton community in both Skagerrak and Kattegat areas comprised mainly of small flagellates. The only exception was Släggö, the inner site in the Skagerrak where the diatom Dactyliosolen fragilissimus was found in highest abundance. The coccolithophorid Emiliana huxleyi was dominating at …
