Cruise report from R/V Argos week 39, 1996

ReportsOceanography

In the Kattegat phytoplankton sampling according to BMP was performed. Maxima of fluorescence were seen in the Kattegat below the halocline at about 20 m and in the Sound at about 10 m. Almost all over the area there were low concentrations of phosphate and depletion of nitrite and nitrate. …

Cruise report from R/V Argos week 26, 1996

ReportsOceanography

In the eastern Skagerrak there were a bloom of a flagellate, Emiliania Huxlley, which gave the surface water a turkos colour and caused low visibility with secchii depths <3m. The surface temperatures varied between 14-15 deg in the Skagerrak-Kattegatt and between 11-13 in the Baltic Proper. The surface layer was generally depleted of nutrients. Fluorocens measurements indicated a subsurface bloom in the whole area between 10 and 20 depth. Continuously measurements of fluorocens at 4 m depth showed highest values just outside of Skagen and in the eastern Gotland basin. There were low oxygen values (< 2ml/l) below 70-100 m depth in the Bornholm basin, the Hanö bight and in the basins east, north and west of Gotland.

ReportsOceanography

Low oxygen concentrations were found in the Laholm Bay 0.16 ml/l, in Skälderviken, 0.64 ml/l and in the Sound, just around 1 ml/l. In the rest of Kattegat, bottom water oxygen concentrations varied between 2 and 4.5 ml/l, highest in the northern part.
