An in situ observation and modelling study of the effect of a natural Baltic oxygenation-deoxygenation cycle on benthic recycling of P, N, Si and C.

Cristina Alionte Eklund at SMHI has received two honourable assignments from the World Meteorological Organization. She has been appointed as Hydrological Adviser for Region Europe, and as co-chair of "Working group for the climate and hydrology".

The species diversity among the dinoflagellates was high in the Skagerrak but it was the diatom species Proboscia alata that dominated the phytoplankton community. The Kattegat was dominated by chain forming diatom species. Proboscia alata were among the most abundant all over Kattegat with the …

Satellite product simulators simulate what would be observed by satellite instruments if the underlying atmosphere was that of the model. This allows for a fairer/more useful comparison between models and observations. SMHI is developing two satellite simulators, the EUMETSAT CMSAF simulator and …

All nutrient concentrations in the surface water were very low in the Skagerrak and the Kattegat. Stratifications was found at around 10 meters and nutrient concentrations increased below 20-30 meters. The inorganic nitrogen was depleted down to 30-40 meters but phosphate was still present in the …

VINDRAD+ creates conditions to open up for the construction of more wind turbines near a weather radar by installing a gap-filling radar

The project will investigate the feasibility to implement a wind turbine filter into the signal processor of modernised weather radars.

Diatom species, often blooming during summer, were rather abundant in the Kattegat and Skagerrak samples. These summer species, as well as the diatom Chaetoceros danicus, also dominated in the samples from the chlorophyll fluorescence maxima. The flagellate Emiliania huxleyi is blooming in the …

All nutrients in the surface water were very low in the Skagerrak and the Kattegat. At 15-20 meters, peaks in the fluorescence were observed together with high saturation of oxygen and also higher levels in nutrients. In Baltic Proper, the inorganic nitrogen (nitrite+nitrate) was used up down to 40 …
