The temperatures varied between 4.6°C in the northern Baltic Sea to 10°C in the Kattegatt. The nutrient concentrations were normal for the season with a few exceptions. An intense alagal bloom was observed in the eastern Baltic Sea and an oxygen saturation of almost 140% was measured. Hydrogen …

Surface nutrient concentrations were low in all areas, which is normal for the season. A heavy bloom preliminary of Aphanizomenon "baltica" and Nodularia spumigena was seen at stations in the Baltic Sea, though it was less prominent in the Soutwestern parts. Oxygen levels below 1 ml/l was found in Last updated: Apr 23, 2014

. These changes are led by many complex processes. Along Swedens coasts it is mainly air pressure and the winds on the North and Baltic Seas that are predominant, but there are also periodic fluctuations in the sea basins. The main result is that once strong winds have pushed the water up against a coast Last updated: Apr 23, 2014

operational during the cruise. During SMHI's expedition, phytoplankton samples are collected for later analysis at SMHI's laboratory. The results are presented in the AlgAware algal report shortly after the expedition is completed. https //www.smhi.se/en/publications/algal-situation-reports-2-1056 This report Last updated: Jun 15, 2020

The research project FUMARI (Future Marine Assessment and Monitoring of the Baltic) started with a kickoff-meting arranged by SLU on 19–20 November in Uppsala. The project that runs during 18 months aim to draft a proposal for a renewed monitoring system of the Baltic Sea marine environment. The Last updated: Dec 05, 2018

The surface water (0–10 m) had cooled down by 3–4 degrees since September and the temperature was now 12–13°C, which is normal for the month. The salinity in the surface water in the Baltic Proper was still above normal for the season and varied between 7-8 psu. In the Skagerrak and the Kattegat Last updated: Oct 28, 2020

The surface temperature was normal for the season and varied between 10-14 ° C, much colder than in the previous expedition in September. A thermocline still existed in the Baltic Sea at about 30 m depth, about 15 m depth in the Kattegat and in the Skagerrack almost no thermocline was left. The Last updated: Oct 31, 2019

The surface area of the Kattegat and the Skagerrak, located in the eastern North Sea, is about 22 000 km2 and 32 000 km2, and the mean depth is about 23 m and 210 m, respectively. The Skagerrak and the Kattegat forms the inner end of the Norwegian trench, which has the characteristics of a deep Last updated: Apr 23, 2014
