Spring bloom was ongoing at Å17 in the open Skagerrak with high cell numbers of the diatom Skeletonema marinoi. Other cell numbers were surprisingly low considering the high chlorophyll concentrations. At Släggö the phytoplankton diversity was still low. Spring bloom was observed even in the …

Extensive work is being performed on a global scale – not least in Sweden – to meet the challenges presented by a changing climate. A new version of the Swedish Portal for Climate Change Adaptation has now been launched, featuring a new design and more content. The portal presents how Swedish …

The surface water, which had been warmer than normal during the autumn and winter, had now cooled down considerably, especially in the Skagerrak and the Kattegat. There the temperature varied between 0.6–3.4 degrees, at most stations there the temperature was below normal in the surface water. …

Surface temperatures in January were above normal in the Baltic Proper and varied from 3.4 in the Kattegat to 6.8 in the Baltic Proper. In the Sound, the Kattegat and the Skagerrak the pycnocline was located from 5-25 m, whereas the surface water was well mixed down to 40-70 m in the Baltic Sea.

SMHI Aqua is a new user-friendly web-based service for drinking water producers and water resource managers, which enables decision support for a sustainable water supply.

The phytoplankton diversity and total cell numbers were higher than expected for the season except at station Släggö where both total cell numbers and biodiversity were low. Diatoms dominated at all stations. Overall the diatom Pseudo-nitzschia* was common. The ichtyotoxic species Heterosigma …
