AlgAware SMHI carries out monthly cruises in the Baltic and the Kattegat/Skagerrak. Results from semi quantitative microscopic analysis of phytoplankton samples as well as chlorophyll measurements are presented in brief in this report. Information from SMHIs satellite monitoring of algal blooms is Last updated: Jan 29, 2020

The total cell concentrations in the open Skagerrak and in the Kattegat were relatively high. The potentially toxic diatom genus Pseudo-nitzschia * dominated at all stations. The coccolithophorid Emiliania huxleyi was common among the small cells at all stations. The integrated chlorophyll …

SMHI performed an oxygen and nutrient mapping survey within SLU Aqua’s cruise; International Bottom Trawl Survey (IBTS Q3), that covers the Skagerrak, the North Sea and the Kattegat. SMHI joins the cruise to perform CTD measurements in connection to each trawl and to take water samples for Last updated: Oct 09, 2023

interesting to study, and which can only be well represented if the wind effect over the Baltic Sea is taken into account [9]. Many models were successfully applied to the Baltic Sea or/and to the North Sea/Baltic Sea area. On can cite the Rossby Centre Ocean model RCO [15], which successfully represents the Last updated: Apr 23, 2014

This report presents the results from the first of two December cruises. The Baltic Proper and the Bothnian Bay were visited. Merely three phytoplankton stations were sampled due to the stormy weather in the area. The potentially harmful flagellate Prymnesium cf. polylepis was present at all three Last updated: Apr 23, 2014

This report presents the results from two October cruises. The Skagerrak, the Kattegat and Southwestern Baltic areas were visited in the beginning of the month, and the Baltic Proper at the end. The number of species and cell numbers were very low in the Skagerrak and the Kattegat. The integrated Last updated: Apr 23, 2014

This report presents the results from two September cruises. A small diatom bloom was proceeding at the Skagerrak coast and in the Kattegat area during the second cruise. In open Skagerrak, the plankton flora was scarce with a few small species in low cell numbers. The integrated chlorophyll a Last updated: Apr 23, 2014

This report presents the results from two November cruises. The Baltic Proper was visited in the beginning of the month, and the Skagerrak, the Kattegat and Southwestern Baltic areas in the end. The number of species and cell numbers were low in the Skagerrak area. In the Kattegat the species Last updated: Apr 23, 2014
