Surface water temperatures were low in the Kattegat but normal in the remainder of the area. Surface nutrient concentrations were normal in most areas, except for phosphate, which was higher than normal in the Bornholm Basin, and silicate, that also was above normal in the Bornholm Basin and in the …

In the event of an oil spill at sea, it is vital to minimise the time between discovery and start of the decontamination process. Swift forecasts for how the oil will spread help minimise environmental damage and economic consequences.

We´ll be back as soon as possible.

Surface water temperatures, from the Skagerrak to Gulf of Bothnia, were lower than normal. Above normal phosphate and silicate concentrations were recorded in the surface waters of the Western Gotland Basin, in the Bornholm Basin and in the Gulf of Bothnia. Oxygen concentrations below 2 ml/l were …

The oxygen situation in the deep water of the Baltic Proper continues to be serious. The bad conditions measured during the beginning of the 2100-century continues.

The oxygen situation in the deep water of the Baltic Proper continues to be serious. About one sixth (~17%) of the bottom area in the Baltic Proper are affected by anoxia (oxygen free, with toxic hydrogen sulphide present) corresponding to ~10% of the water volume. Acute oxygen deficiency, with …
