winter conditions took place in the Baltic Proper. North- easterly winds dominated during the expedition. During the first days they were moderate to fresh and then increasing to strong for two days. These were followed by a calm day, before increasing to strong for the rest of the week. The Skagerrak Last updated: Apr 23, 2014

. Baltic Proper Surface water temperatures were above normal, for the season, in the whole area and varied between 17.2 to 18.2°C. The thermocline, which was very distinct, was found at a depth of 20 meters, where the temperature dropped from ca. 17 to 4°C over just a few meters. All nutrients showed, for Last updated: Apr 23, 2014

has a long-term approach to equality and in a survey conducted by the Institute of Human Resource Indicators in 2014 was named Sweden's most equal workplace among some 240 organisations. The key figure is based on an Equality index that summarizes the level of equality in the organisation and makes it Last updated: Jun 10, 2022

. Filamentous (threadlike) cyanobacteria were abundant though at most stations, both surface samples and integrated (0-10m) samples. Nodularia spumigena* and Aphanizomenon flos-aque were both very common at most of the stations. Aggregations of cyanobacteria were visible as grains in the water in the northern Last updated: Jul 29, 2015

Nutrient concentrations were normal for the season in all areas. At the coastal station Släggö, in the Skagerrak, the bottom water oxygen concentration was less than 2 ml/l. This was worse than normal. From 70-90 metres in the Bornholm Deep (BY 5), the Norrköping Deep (BY 32) and in the eastern …

. Concentrations of phosphate was in the interval 0.09-0.20 µmol/l and silicate varied between 7.5 and 11.2 µmol/l. Inorganic nitrogen (nitrite nitrate) was close to or below the detection limit in the whole area. In the bottom water of the Arkona Basin, the oxygen situation was better since the previous Last updated: Aug 28, 2014

concentration varied between 7.2-9.0 µmol/l Concentrations of phosphate was in the interval 0.06-0.18 µmol/l and inorganic nitrogen (nitrite nitrate) was below detection limit in the whole investigated area. The oxygen concentration in the western Arkona Basin was high, 4.25 ml/l, due to an inflow through the Last updated: Sep 09, 2014

Diatoms dominated along the Swedish west coast. The total cell concentrations were overall quite low. Chlorophyll concentrations were within normal at most stations except in the northern stations Å15 and Å13 where they were above normal for the month. The flagellate Pseudochattonella spp Last updated: Jun 07, 2017

flos-aquae was found at BY38 just like at the last cruise. The diatoms Skeletonema marinoi (chain) and Chaetoceros subtilis (arrow) were present in the Sotuhern Baltic and indicated the start of the spring bloom there.
