A climatological atlas of the oxygen situation in the deep water of the Baltic Sea was first published in 2011 in SMHI Report Oceanography No 42. Since 2011, annual updates have been made as additional data have been reported to ICES.  In this report the results for 2015 have been updated and the …

All phytoplankton samples from the Skagerrak, the Kattegat and the Baltic Sea had low species diversities. All of the cell counts were very low. All of the Skagerrak stations except Släggö were not visited during the cruise due to bad weather conditions. No further detailed phytoplankton …

The environmental conditions in the coastal zone are strongly connected with the conditions in the open sea as the transports across the boundaries are extensive. Therefore, it is of critical importance that coastal zone models have lateral boundary forcing of high quality and required parameters …

In large parts of the deep water in the Baltic Proper the oxygen concentrations were close to 0 ml/l and the concentrations of hydrogen sulphide were lower than the expedition in December. In the northern part of the Western Gotland Basin (BY31) hydrogen sulphide was found from 175 meters, and in …

SMHI’s open source, free of charge and transparent hydrological model for the environment HYPE is being used extensively in Europe and internationally for both research and operational hydrology. The latest addition to the HYPE community is Botswana.

Small-scale physical and biogeochemical processes in the ocean are of great importance for the ocean's large-scale circulation and state, but are often parameterized or approximately represented in ocean models. The research group increases SMHI's possibilities to produce relevant knowledge about …

In large parts of the deep water in the Baltic Proper the oxygen concentrations were found to be around 0 ml/l, but no high concentrations of hydrogen sulphide was found. Though, in the Western Gotland Basin, hydrogen sulphide was found from depth exceeding 80 meters. Acute hypoxia, < 2 ml/l was …
