hydrogen sulphide appears as a negative oxygen level. At the northern stations high levels of chlorophyll fluorescence was seen, and at BY32 a distinctive peak could be observed at 20 meters. The oxygen levels in the surface waters were above 8,5 ml/l, which indicates a high activity of plankton. At the Last updated:

cyanobacteria A. flosaquae was abundant together with filaments of Pseudanabaena sp. and colonies of Snowella sp. Among groups of relatively small plankton there was a great variety resulting in high diversity over all for this station. The integrated (0-20 m and 0-10 m) chlorophyll concentrations were within Last updated:

Marine environmental monitoring at SMHI

Kattegat and Skagerrak seas are a part of the North Sea but are in turn affected by the outflow of Baltic Sea water. The Baltic Sea and the Skagerrak and Kattegat seas are therefore an intricately integrated water system. The environmental goals for ocean and coast require that data and basis of decision Last updated:
