The cell concentration was very low at Å17 in the open Skagerrak. The chlorophyll fluorescence measurements and the high nutrient concentrations showed that the spring bloom had not yet started here. The diatom spring bloom was ongoing in the Kattegat and at Släggö on the Skagerrak coast. The …

The water temperature in the surface layer was normal in the Skagerrak and Kattegat while it was slightly above normal in the Baltic Proper. Surface nutrients showed for the season almost normal values, except for silicate and phosphate which, in parts of the Baltic, were elevated.

The effects of …

Ice accretion at sea involves the build-up of frozen sea water on ships. As soon as the sea surface temperature drops below +4° C, spray and waves can form ice on the deck and superstructures.

This report provides a description of the snow conditions in Sweden during the winters of 1904/05 to 2013/14. In particular, maximum accumulated snow depths, number of days with snow cover and large snow depth increases during one day are studied. Snow depth records for different months and parts …

The diatom spring bloom had started at the southern Kattegat station, Anholt E. Due to the storm Egon, the January cruise could not visit the Skagerrak area this month, as well as several stations in the Baltic.

The species diversities and cell densities were very low in the Baltic Sea. The …

2014 was the warmest year in Sweden since measurements began around 1860. The Swedish mean annual temperature was 0.18°C higher than the previous warmest year 1934. In general the year was wetter than normal in the southern part of the country, and drier than normal in the northern part.
