Warning, (in Swedish), level 1, SwedenCruise reports from the marine monitoring
Reports from SMHI's regular marine monitoring programme. Data presented in the reports have been subject to preliminary quality control procedures only.Cruise report from R/V Franklin week 14, 2011
Surface water temperatures were normal in the Skagerrak and Kattegat but somewhat below normal in the Baltic. Spring bloom was over in the central parts of Skagerrak, in Kattegat and in the Arkona Basin and surface nutrient concentrations were low. In the reminder of the Baltic bloom was in its infancy...Type: Reports, Cruise report from the marine monitoring, Oceanography

Cruise report from R/V Franklin week 10, 2011
Surface water temperatures were below normal in the whole area. Surface nutrient concentrations were normal at most stations but above normal silicate and nitrate concentrations were recorded in the central parts of Skagerrak and in the Arkona Basin. The bottom water of the Arkona Basin was well oxygenated...Type: Reports, Cruise report from the marine monitoring, Oceanography

Cruise report from R/V Argos week 2, 2011
Surface water temperatures were low in the Kattegat but normal in the remainder of the area. Surface nutrient concentrations were normal in most areas, except for phosphate, which was higher than normal in the Bornholm Basin, and silicate, that also was above normal in the Bornholm Basin and in the western...Type: Reports, Cruise report from the marine monitoring, Oceanography

Cruise report from R/V Argos week 48-49, 2010
Surface water temperatures, from the Skagerrak to Gulf of Bothnia, were lower than normal. Above normal phosphate and silicate concentrations were recorded in the surface waters of the Western Gotland Basin, in the Bornholm Basin and in the Gulf of Bothnia. Oxygen concentrations below 2 ml/l were observed...Type: Reports, Cruise report from the marine monitoring, Oceanography

Cruise report from R/V Argos week 38-39 and 41-43, 2010
The oxygen situation in the deep water of the Baltic Proper continues to be serious. About one sixth (~17%) of the bottom area in the Baltic Proper are affected by anoxia (oxygen free, with toxic hydrogen sulphide present) corresponding to ~10% of the water volume. Acute oxygen deficiency, with concentrations...Type: Reports, Cruise report from the marine monitoring, Oceanography

Cruise report from R/V Argos week 45, 2010
Surface water temperatures were normal in the whole area and nutrient levels were also normal expect from silicate which was lower than normal in parts of the Baltic Proper and in the Kattegat. Oxygen levels in the deep water of the Arkona Basin and Hanö Bight were good. In the Bornholm Basin the oxygen...Type: Reports, Cruise report from the marine monitoring, Oceanography

Cruise report from R/V Argos week 40, 2010
Surface water temperatures and nutrient levels were normal in the whole area. Oxygen levels in the bottom water of the Arkona Basin were good. At BY4 (Christiansö) in the Bornholm Basin new water, with an oxygen content of nearly 4 ml/l, had penetrated in close to the bottom. In the intermediate layers...Type: Reports, Cruise report from the marine monitoring, Oceanography

Cruise report from R/V Argos week 37, 2010
Nutrient levels in surface water were normal throughout the investigated area except in the Bornholm Basin where silicate was slightly lower. In the Baltic Proper oxygen concentrations below 2 ml/l were observed at depths exceeding 40 to 80 meters and at the bottom in the eastern part of Arkona Basin...Type: Reports, Cruise report from the marine monitoring, Oceanography
