the impact of the 2014/2015s Major Baltic Inflow (MBI) of oxygenated salty water from the Kattegat on nutrient transports and eutrophication in the Baltic Sea. Role of SMHI SMHI participates on cruises collecting data in the Baltic proper as well as contributes to analyses of the data. SMHI is also Last updated: Nov 22, 2023

stations were sampled with CTD and bottle samples, and 10 stations with only CTD. During the expedition one of the monitoring stations, Anholt E in southern Kattegat, was sampled. The sea surface temperature was above normal for the season. Concentrations of silicate and phosphorus were above normal for Last updated: Mar 12, 2021

The surface temperature was normal for the season and varied between 14.5 - 17.5 ° C in the upper water mass. In the Baltic, there was a strong thermocline throughout the area, usually at about 30 meters depth with cold underlying water, in the Kattegat the temperature in the underlying water was Last updated: Oct 10, 2019

. However, in the Baltic Proper the surface water was warmer, at about 3-4 degrees. At most stations in the western and eastern Gotland Basin, the temperature was close to four degrees, which was warmer than normal for the season. The salinity of the surface water in the Baltic Proper was still above normal Last updated: Feb 24, 2021

Science and Policy Research at Linköping University is SMHI’s collaboration partner in the work package managed by Cristina Edlund, i.e. the sub-project that is drawing up a climate adaptation strategy for the Baltic Sea region. Taking a holistic approach to the Baltic Sea’s future climate adaptation Last updated: Apr 23, 2014

The temperature in the surface water was normal for the season and varied between 2.0 °C in the northern Bothnian Bay to 5.7 °C in the Åland Sea. Salinity in the surface water was also normal and ranged from 2.9 in the north to 6.0 in the southern parts. Temperature and salinity in the deep water also Last updated: Jan 21, 2020

. 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 is based on data that has undergone an initial quality control. After further quality controls, certain values or quality Last updated: Jun 01, 2020

Rossby Centre's regional Arctic coupled ocean-ice-atmospher scenario experiments show a number of rapid sea ice loss events for projected warming Arctic climate. The nature and mechanism of those events are currently scrutinated. First results show that rapid ice loss during summer is favored by Last updated: Mar 20, 2017

The surface water (0–10 m) had only become slightly colder since October and was warmer than normal at almost all stations, the temperature was 10–12 degrees. The salinity of the surface water in the Baltic Proper was still above normal for the season and varied between 6.6–8.5 psu. In the Kattegat Last updated: Nov 23, 2020
