University of Göteborg (FRISBEE-project) was ended. The Skagerrak Surface water temperatures were much over normal. The temperature was 17.9°C at the outer part of the Å-transect and increased to 20.5oC at the coast in the south. The surface salinity was normal in the central Skagerrak (Å 17), 30 psu, while Last updated:

The cruise was initially delayed for some hours, and there were some problems with the generators resulting in inability to maintain full speed of the vessel during the cruise. Shortly before arriving Lysekil, information was given stating that other bookings of R/V Aranda had priority, and the Last updated:

However there are indications that increased absorption of carbon dioxide in the sea would change the pH value of the sea with a tendency Last updated:

Research places the unusual Swedish summer of 2018 in a climate perspective
