specific wind, weather, and sea level conditions cause the flow direction to reverse, allowing inflows to occur. These inflows, which are rare, can transport large amounts of oxygenated and highly saline water into the Baltic Sea. Due to the differing densities of low and high saline waters, stable Last updated: Aug 15, 2023

Norwegian Meteorological Institute in the development and operation of its high-resolution forecasting model. The ability to assess local effects and extreme situations increases as the forecast basis becomes more detailed and better at taking into account topographical differences.   Expert body within Last updated: Jun 10, 2022

bottom waters of the Baltic also reflected the oxygen deficiency, with values above normal, and levels that increased as the oxygen had been depleted in the water column. In the Arkona basin, the oxygen situation was somewhat better, with bottom water values between 2,33 – 3,33 ml/l. Surface Last updated: Aug 07, 2023

positive social-economic change. In this project, it is believed that once community members observe the reality of utilizing knowledge and skills relevant to climate change mitigation and adaptation, they will be inspired to engage in actions at their level. This is done through school-based capacity Last updated: Feb 17, 2023

/l were found in the bottom water. Below this oxygen level, the first signs of oxygen deficiency in marine organisms are normally detected. In the south-eastern parts, levels were lower, close to the limit for acute hypoxia of < 2 ml/l. In acute oxygen deficiency, most benthic animals are negatively Last updated: Oct 09, 2023

concentration of nutrients increases, at a depth of around 30 meters, concentrations slightly higher than the average for the season were measured at the Å stations. Abnormally high levels of ammonium were measured in the surface water of Å15, these values are under further review when this report is written Last updated: Oct 17, 2023

The Climate Resilient Development for Africa (CRD4Africa) Inception Phase began in the beginning of 2023, which aims to map the needs for regional climate information in Africa together with local partners. To then possibly develop a program to provide high-resolution climate scenario data and Last updated: Apr 03, 2024

  These phytoplankton form the bottom of the food chain in the sea and changes in the biomass and species distribution affect the entire marine ecosystem.   of the sea has led to increased algal growth which in turn causes for example reduced visibility, an increase in dead zones (low oxygen) and Last updated: Mar 20, 2017

treatment Negotiating and sharing plant resources Using climate information (SUMO) Impact One of the innovations of the Peace Wells approach involves constantly seeking consensus through consultation and dialogue between water users. These Peace Wells exchanges led to a social agreement being signed that Last updated: Feb 21, 2023

phytoplankton diversity was fairly high. At all other stations, the number of species and total cell numbers were generally low. The integrated chlorophyll concentrations (0–10 and 0–20 m) were within the normal range for this month at all stations in the Baltic Proper, except at BY1 where they were well above Last updated: Nov 23, 2023
