Pseudanabaena sp. The integrated (0-10 m) chlorophyll concentrations were normal for this month. Figure 3 There are not many species of dinoflagellates that form chains, but Peridiniella catenata is one of them. The species was found at four of the Baltic stations in February.

includes contact with municipalities and county administrative boards along the coast, to ensure that they can make use of the climate information. “There is no doubt that climate change will hit coastal communities hard and affect the sea in various ways,” explains Iréne Wåhlström, a researcher at SMHI Last updated: Jan 28, 2020

Moon and the Sun, and the angle of their paths. The continents hinder the tide and the water (tidal) waves cannot move as quickly as the Sun and Moon move relative to the Earth. All these factors mean that the tides vary both from place to place and at with time in a complicated but regular Last updated: Apr 23, 2014

slightly above normal, and varied between 6.5-8.3 psu. A clear thermocline was found about 10-35 meters in the area. There was also a pycnocline between 50 and 70 meters, in the Arkona basin it was found more shallow, about 30 meters. The dissolved inorganic nitrogen was depleted in the surface water.

have been signs that their numbers are increasing. Sweden was hit by fires during the warm summer of 2018, and intense forest fires raged in several Arctic locations including Alaska and Siberia in 2019. Now, researchers will study the conditions for forest fires in the Arctic in a changed climate – a Last updated: Jul 04, 2022

lowest surface water temperature (17.2°C) was found in the central part of the Skagerrak and the highest (18°C) in the south eastern coastal zone. The temperatures were higher than normal although they had dropped 1.5-2.5°C in the Skagerrak and northern Kattegat since the previous expedition. The surface Last updated: Apr 23, 2014

normal values and increased to normal 9.1°C in the central Skagerrak. The thermocline and halocline were both located at a depth of ca. 10 metres in the west and in the central Skagerrak at a depth of approx. 25 metres. The nutrients in the surface layer were increasing, with winter approaching, and Last updated: Apr 23, 2014

horizontal variations, a region is divided into several smaller sub-regions, called basins, connected by sounds. Through these sound connections both water and mass of different constituents are exchanged. The basins in SCM are identical to the national water bodies defined in accordance with the Water Last updated: Feb 07, 2020

During the expedition the weather was rather cloudy and windy. In the southern Baltic there was a strong wind from southwest. In the Skagerrak sampling was done only at station P2, because wind velocities more than 20 m/s were forecast. The surface water temperatures were between 8 and 11°C in the Last updated: Apr 23, 2014

the southern Baltic proper at station BCSIII-10, a thin layer of warmer and saltier water was observed, which also included an increased oxygen content. The nutrients, mainly phosphate and inorganic nitrogen, were generally lower compared with February. The spring bloom was ongoing in the Arkona- and Last updated: Mar 24, 2016
