is strongly connected with westerly and southwesterly inflow of mild and humid Atlantic air-masses. Another interesting but still somewhat questionable feature is the dry early decades. 2 The data set. In figure 1 the stations used here are given. They are grouped into two regions, one in the south Last updated: Mar 31, 2020

(~2.7 µmol/l) and increasing into the Baltic Proper, but unlike phosphate, the levels of dissolved inorganic nitrogen were highest in the Northern Baltic Proper (~4.5 µmol/l) and about the same in the Eastern and Western Gotland Basin (~3.4 µmol/l). Also the levels of silicate increased from Arkona Last updated: Mar 05, 2020

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

November 15th. During the expedition a hydrographic investigation of Knoll´s bank in the Baltic was completed. There were moderate, mainly southeasterly winds during the expedition. There was no rain, but most days were cloudy. Air temperature was 6-8ºC. The Skagerrak Surface water temperature was 9.6°C in Last updated: Apr 23, 2014

integrated chlorophyll concentrations were well above normal in the south-western part. At the other stations they were with few exceptions low but within normal for the month. Last updated: Apr 06, 2021

. The nutrient concentrations were low, which is normal in the summer. In the Baltic Proper, dissolved inorganic nitrogen was depleted down to the halocline of between 40-60 m depth. However, phosphate remained in the surface water, although at low levels, the phosphate concentration started increasing Last updated: Jul 21, 2019

The goal is for them to go on to write scientific articles about their findings whilst making contact with users of climate information. “We’ve also invited users who work with the Last updated: Jan 19, 2024

SMHI carries out research about phytoplankton and algal blooms. Topics include biodiversity, harmful algae, climate change effects on harmful algae and cyanobacteria blooms in the Baltic Sea.  Funders of projects includes the Swedish research council Formas, EU Horizon 2020, EU ERA4CS, the Swedish Last updated: Jun 25, 2020

measurements in the river network and against spatially distributed observations, such as Earth Observations or interpolated products from in-situ monitoring.

Skagerrak Surface water temperatures were above normal throughout the investigated area. The highest, 19.8°C at Å13 and 18.7°C at the entrance of the Gullmar Fjord and at P2. Surface salinities increased from 22,5 psu outside Lysekil, which was lower than normal to 30 psu in the central parts. Thermo- and Last updated: Apr 23, 2014
