The phytoplankton diversity was generally low in the Skagerrak and Kattegat areas. Small species like Cryptomonads and Chrysochromulina spp. dominated the samples. A few diatoms were found with moderate cell numbers at Släggö (Skagerrak coast) and in the Kattegat. The dinoflagellate Prorocentrum …

The phytoplankton flora was poor in the Skagerrak area and small flagellated species dominated the samples. The integrated (0-20m) chlorophyll concentrations were low but within normal for this month. Traces from the spring bloom were obvious in the Kattegat area and the species Pseudochattonella …

The major differences between the Skagerrak and Kattegat areas during the latest cruise were the high cell numbers of the diatoms Pseudosolenia calcar-avis and Pseudo-nitzschia spp. in the Kattegat phytoplankton samples. The species’ were present in the Skagerrak as well but in low cell numbers. …

The phytoplankton species diversity was rather high in the Skagerrak and Kattegat areas although the number of cells was higher in the latter. Diatoms dominated the samples and chlorophyll a concentrations were at average at all stations but somewhat enhanced, within the limits, at Å13 in the …

A diatom bloom was observed at the Skagerrak coast (Släggö) at the time of the latest sampling, 22nd of August. The diatom Skeletonema costatum was found with high cell numbers and the species diversity was high. The chlorophyll a concentration in the surface was enhanced, although the integrated …

During the expedition, which is part of the Swedish pelagic monitoring program, the Skagerrak, Kattegat, the Sound and the Baltic Sea were visited. In the Baltic Proper, the annual mapping of nutrients was also carried out. Due to severe weather during the first day of the expedition, two stations Last updated: Mar 07, 2023

stations were sampled with CTD and bottle samples, and 11 stations with only CTD. During the expedition one of the monitoring stations, Anholt E in southern Kattegat, was sampled. The sea surface temperature was normal for the season. Concentrations of nutrients were slightly below normal. Oxygen Last updated: Apr 04, 2023

. A sea ice cover of 1 million km2 in September, at the end of the melting season, is usually used as a criterion for ice-free Arctic, then there is no major contiguous area with ice left. Still, scattered areas of ice can mainly be found along the north coast of Canada and Greenland. Both atmosphere Last updated: Jul 15, 2021
