authority principals to stop and rethink. "There were acute problems getting the water from the plant to run out to sea, and there was a risk that seawater might flood into the treatment basins - which would have been absolutely devastating," says mechanical engineer Rikard Widén of Gotland Municipality Last updated: Apr 23, 2014

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.

. Seaweed and rubbish collect in water gyres The Coriolis effect has further consequences. The winds over the seas set the sea surface in motion in the direction of the wind, and the water’s inner friction (viscosity) pulls the water from the layer below. Because of the Coriolis effect this movement Last updated: Apr 23, 2014

overlying water masses, is something that the process studies can give an estimate on.   In order to calculate how the ice cover in the Arctic will develop, complex models that couple the sea-ice-atmosphere system are used. In these models, a number of the processes may be studied in more detail. One may Last updated: Mar 20, 2017

sampling campaign that was to be carried out during this trip. Svea's ADCP was only run with the WH600 as the OS150 did not work. Reference measurement with CTD at the sea buoy at Huvudskär was carried out when we passed on our way south. This report is based on data that has undergone an initial quality Last updated: Jun 27, 2024

All stations along the Swedish west coast had quite high species diversity when considering the season but most cells were only found in low cell numbers. The order Dictyochales was common at all stations except at Å17. The order was present in both its naked form but also in the forms known as Last updated: Nov 25, 2024

as in the western seas since December. The oxygen situation remained poor, with oxygen deficiency from 50-60 meters and completely anoxic conditions from 70-90 meters. The inflow at the end of December had affected the oxygen concentration in the Hanö Bay and the Bornholm Basin. SMHI's next regular Last updated: May 23, 2024

salinity was observed to be within normal range at all sampling points, with the exception of the south Baltic Proper, where sea surface salinity was slightly above normal. Dissolved inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus displayed low concentrations, which is normal for the season. The silicate levels in all Last updated: Aug 07, 2023

range for the season in the surface waters. Temperature had increased between 6–9 °C since the last cruise, and was noted at 15-18 °C. The sea surface salinity were within normal range, between 18,5–21,3 psu in the Kattegat and 15,0 psu in the Sound. At all sampling points, a pycnocline had formed Last updated: Jun 30, 2023

Å17 and Å16, where the highest levels were found. The Secchi depth varied between 6–7 meters. The oxygen conditions in Skagerrak's bottom water were good, with 5.9-6.2 ml/l at the open sea stations and 5.8 ml/l at Släggö. These were normal concentrations for the season at all stations.
