temperatures were typical for the season, while the surface salinity was clearly below normal. All nutrients showed normal values in both areas. Oxygen conditions in the bottom waters of Skagerrak were good, while in parts of the southern Kattegat some low values were measured. Last updated: Oct 06, 2015

December 2014 when ca. 200 km3 entered the Baltic.  Data presented in this report have been subject to preliminary quality control procedures only. The water temperature in the surface layer was still above normal in Kattegat but normal in the Baltic Proper. Surface nutrients showed, for the season, almost Last updated: Feb 25, 2015

The surface temperatures varied from 9.5°C in the Skagerrak to 5°C Bothnian Bay. Due to the very mild autumn the surface temperature in the Kattegat exceeded the normal values with 2°C and in the Baltic with 3.5°C . The nutrient concentrations were generally normal for the season with a few Last updated: Apr 23, 2014

visited frequent station P2 the Skagerrak and Fladen and Anholt E in the Kattegat surface temperature, salinity and oxygen amounts in the bottom water were normal for the season. At P2 the spring bloom was ongoing. Last updated: Apr 23, 2014

The surface temperature was over normal in Kattegat and the salinity in the surface layer was slightly over normal values in Skagerrak. All nutrients, in the surface layer, showed normal values for the season except for silicate which was below normal in the eastern Gotland Basin. In the Arkona Last updated: Apr 23, 2014

A new agreement with the Swedish Coastguard meant that only the Swedish west coast and south western Baltic Proper (Arkona and Bornholm Basins) were sampled. In Skagerrak and Kattegat, nutrient conditions were normal for the season. In the south western parts of the Baltic Proper concentrations of Last updated: Apr 23, 2014

Baltic Proper. Data presented in this report have been subject to preliminary quality control procedures only. Surface water temperatures as well as surface salinities were at normal levels for the season in the whole investigated area. Surface nutrient concentrations were normal in most areas, with the Last updated: Apr 23, 2014

Mapping of winter nutrient conditions was performed in the Skagerrak and 16 stations with complete hydrography were sampled. In the Kattegatt area 18 stations were sampled with complete hydrography. The silicate levels were slightly enhanced compared to the normal in the Skagerrak. The other …
