The weather during the first part of the expedition was dominated by strong northerly winds while during the later part weak to moderate winds from south to southwest dominated. Nutrient concentrations were at typical winter levels in all areas. High oxygen saturation and high fluorescence values Last updated: Apr 23, 2014

Nutrient concentrations were normal or near normal for the season in most areas. High values of phosphate and silicate were found in the west Gotland basin. The bottom waters in the Baltic Sea, from 70-80 metres had an oxygen concentration of less than 2 ml/l. Hydrogen sulphide was present in the Last updated: Apr 23, 2014

normal values, while inorganic nitrogen showed lower than normal values. Surface DIN was close to zero from the Sound to Hanöbukten, indicating the start of the spring bloom – about a month earlier than normal. There are indications that the initial bloom is subsiding at Anholt E, in the Kattegat, and Last updated: Apr 23, 2014

Phosphate concentrations in the Baltic Proper remain much higher than normal for the season. Silicate measurements also showed high levels there, while nitrate levels were normal. Nutrient concentrations in the Skagerrak, Kattegat and Sound were normal. In the Baltic Proper oxygen concentrations Last updated: Apr 23, 2014

2 and N14 where there was a spring bloom. Skeletonema marinoi was dominating at BY2 in the Baltic Sea. The spring bloom in the Kattegat was dominated by Skeletonema marinoi, Detonula confervacea, Coscinodiscus concinnus and a few species from the genus Thalassiosira.

. The chlorophyll a concentrations were consequently low why no further detailed information will be presented in this report, only a species list and chlorophyll diagrams. Chlorophyll data are missing from the Kattegat stations which caused the empty diagrams on page 7. Last updated: Apr 23, 2014
