Because of the flooding of the rivers Wisla and Oder a part of the expedition was destinated to study the effect of the overflow in the areas of the Pomeranian Bay and the Bay of Gdansk. Temperature, salinity and fluorescence (biological activity) at 4m depth were registered continuously …

Due to the floodings in Poland and Germany, this expedition was carried out with the main purpose to study the spreading and material transports of river water into the Baltic. The expedition was carried out in cooperation between SMHI, NSEPA, The Fishery Board, IVL and the Swedish Coast Guard as …

Temperature, salinity and fluorescence (biological activity) at 4m depth were registered continuously throughout the expedition. Over great areas in the Southern Baltic and West Gotland a strong bloom of mainly bluegreen algae was observed. In the Bay of Gdansk the biological activity was even …

Skagerrak: The surface temperatures varied between 10-14 oC. The nutrient concentrations above the halocline showed low but, for the season, normal values. A strong bloom of Emiliania Huxleyi was observed in the area. Kattegat and the Sound: The surface temperatures varied between 12-13 oC in …

Skagerrak: The surface temperatures varied between 5.5 and 5.9 oC. The nutrients concentrations above the halocline showed, for the season, normal values. Kattegat and the Sound: The surface salinity was higher than normal.The pycnocline started between 4 and 15 metres depth and was weakly …

Skagerrak: The surface temperatures varied between 3.3 and 4.8 oC and surface salinites from 24 psu in the Baltic water to 33.5 in the remaining area. The spring bloom was almost over, except along the Jutland coast where nitrogen rich water from the North Sea was found. Kattegat and the Sound: …

Skagerrak: Surface temperatures varied between 2.5 and 4.5 oC and surface salinites from 30 in the east to 33.5 in the southwest. The pycnocline was located at a depth of 15 meters in the eastern part and at 30 meters along the Jutland coast. A bloom had started along the Swedish west coast and the …

The surface water temperatures were: In the Skagerrak 3.5°C - 5.3°C, the Kattegat -0.5°C - 2.7°C and in the Baltic 1.2°C - 3.4°C. The nutrient concentrations in the surface layer in the Kattegat showed lower and chlorophyll much higher values than expected for the season. This means that the …
