The surface water temperature was well above normal and ranged between 4 - 6°C which is about 2-3°C above normal for the season. The deep waters in the Baltic Proper were also warmer than normal. In the Baltic Proper, the salinity was higher than usual. The concentrations of dissolved inorganic Last updated: Mar 30, 2020

The Baltic Proper The sea surface temperature was warmer than normal for the season and varied between 5.4 – 6.5°C. The sea surface salinity (7.2 – 8.9) varied Last updated: Jan 20, 2020

The surface temperature was normal for the season and varied between 8-11° C. At the west coast a pycnocline was observed at 10-20 meters and in the Baltic Proper the surface water was well mixed down to 30-40 meters.    The levels of nutrients in the surface water (0-10 m) were low but had started Last updated: Nov 19, 2019

The expedition was included within SLU:s International Bottom Trawl Survey and covered the Skagerrak and the Kattegat.

Mapping of winter nutrient conditions was performed in the Skagerrak and 10 stations with complete hydrography were sampled. In the Kattegat area 16 stations were sampled with ctd …

remaining stations were cancelled. Due to this, large parts of the Baltic Proper were not sampled during the cruise, which was SMHI’s first on board R/V Aranda since July 2017. The sea surface temperature in the areas monitored was normal or below normal for the season. At most stations the temperature was Last updated: Mar 15, 2019

The salinity in the surface layer of the Bothnian Sea was about 5.5 psu, while it in the Bothnian Bay was around 3 psu, which is normal. In the surface layer all nutrients showed, all Last updated: Apr 23, 2014

The sea surface temperature and salinity was normal in all sea areas, except the surface salinity that was above normal in parts of the Skagerrak, in the Eastern Gotland Basin and in the Hanö Bight.
