Warming, acidification, eutrophication and anoxic bottoms are some of the current and expected future challenges to face the world’s oceans. An international research team is now launching the Baltic Sea region as a model to predict and overcome future changes in the world’s coastal regions.

A unique long-term (1983-2013) dataset of sulfur and nitrogen deposition has been compiled for Sweden as well as the Baltic Sea and surrounding countries, based on quality controlled measurements and modelled fields, fused though advanced methods capturing spatial and temporal variations. The data …

Initial problems with our CTD caused some delays since a thorough troubleshooting had to be performed. The problem turned out to be the computer and probably a malfunctioning serial port. The computer could temporarily be replaced until we reached Lysekil, there a permanent replacement computer was …

Climate change affects us all, and we have to do something to do about it. This message was clear after the Nordic Conference on Climate Change Adaptation, which was attended by more than 400 representatives from municipal, regional and national government, as well as the business and research …

The species diversity was fairly high in the Kattegat and at Släggö at the Skagerrak coast. The total cell numbers were low and the most numerous species were the dinoflagellate Prorocentrum compressum and the diatom Pseudosolenia calcar-avis. The coccolithophorid Emiliania huxleyi was present in …

The expedition was included within SLU:s International Bottom Trawl Survey and covered the Skagerrak and the Kattegat. Also during the expedition, SMHIs standard frequent stations were visited. In Skagerrak 9 stations with complete hydrography were sampled in the Skagerrak and 12 stations in the …

This cruise was not a full cruise with phytoplankton sampling at only three west coast stations and three stations in the Baltic Sea. The west coast stations Släggö and Anholt E displayed relatively high biodiversity. The coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi was found at high cell numbers at both …

The cruise, which is part of the Swedish pelagic monitoring program, visited the Sound, the Baltic Proper and parts of the Kattegat. In the Kattegat, Anholt E represents the entire sea area since neither N14 nor Fladen were sampled. This is otherwise done during a regular monitoring cruise. Due to …

This sampling occasion was not a full cruise with all phytoplankton stations, only one west coast phytoplankton station and six in the Baltic Sea were sampled. The west coast station (Anholt E), displayed an autumn bloom community with several species of dinoflagellates, as well as some diatoms, …

Every year, people are surprised by unexpected floods in West Africa. 2018, Nigeria is particularly affected by major flooding which has killed more than 100 people during September. The interest is therefore great for the operational flood forecasting and alert pilot system that SMHI is building …
