The phytoplankton activity was rather low in the Kattegat and Skagerrak areas. Diatoms were common in the Kattegat though, with several species observed at variable abundances. The diversity was very low in the Skagerrak area. Chlorophyll fluorescence peaks at Fladen in the Kattegat and at Släggö …

The water temperature was slightly above normal in the whole Baltic Proper. The spring bloom was ongoing in the investigated area. Phosphate showed levels above normal in the southwestern part of the Baltic Proper in the surface water. The concentrations of silicate were still above normal in the …

Newly developed ecosystem model NEMO-Nordic-SCOBI was applied to Skagerrak - Kattegat area to investigate the variability of some indicators of the ecosystem. Also, two sensitivity runs were performed to investigate possible effect of the Baltic Sea Action Plan (BSAP) and a river loads reduction …

How can Arctic climate projections be improved on a regional and local scale? That is one of the main topics that the Nordic Centre of Excellence funded project ARCPATH seeks to answer.

The spring bloom was in its final phase in the Kattegat-Skagerrak areas. The chlorophyll concentrations were high and typical spring bloom diatoms were present, but the nutrients were completely or almost completely exhausted, which is why the bloom was predicted to end soon. Chlorophyll …

Sweden was a pioneering country in the development of NumericalWeather Prediction (NWP). The worlds first operational numerical forecast was produced already in 1954 by the International Meteorological Institute in Stockholm. SMHI started a bit later, but in 1961 a long term program for development …

The temperature in the surface water was above normal in the Baltic Proper. The spring bloom had started in the Skagerrak, Kattegat and in the south western parts of Baltic Proper. Inorganic nitrogen was completely exhausted down to 10 meters in the south western parts of Baltic Proper. The …

The expedition was included within SLU:s International Bottom Trawl Survey and covered the Skagerrak and Kattegat. Mapping of winter nutrient conditions was performed in the Skagerrak and 13 stations with complete hydrography were sampled. In the Kattegat area 12 stations were sampled with complete …

The phytoplankton diversity and cell concentrations were low in the open Skagerrak area while the beginning of a spring bloom was recorded at the inner station Släggö. The diatom Skeletonema marinoi was found in relatively high concentrations at all stations and this species is often dominating the …

The expedition was part of the Swedish marine monitoring programme and covered the Skagerrak, the Kattegat, the Sound and the Baltic Proper. Mapping of winter nutrients were performed in the Baltic Proper.  The temperature in the surface water was above normal in the Baltic Proper. The …
