Cruise reports from the marine monitoring

The surface water temperature varied between 12.5-17.3 °C, which is lower than normal for the season. The salinity in the surface in the Baltic Proper was above normal at all stations visited.   Dissolved inorganic nitrogen in the surface water was below detection limit from the surface …

The surface water temperature varied between 10-16 °C, which is normal for the season. At most stations in the Baltic Proper, the temperature in the entire depth profile was above normal. The cooling that normally occurs during winter was 2019/2020 very weak. The salinity in the Baltic Proper was …

The surface water temperature varied between 6-10 °C, which is normal for the season. At most stations in the Baltic Proper, the temperature in the entire depth profile was above normal. The cooling that normally occurs during winter was 2019/2020 very weak. The surface water had now started to …

Sea surface temperatures were above normal at all stations sampled in the Baltic Proper, and normal in the Sound, the Kattegat and the Skagerrak. The temperature varied from slightly below 5°C in the northern Baltic Proper up to 7.2°C in the Sound. In the Baltic Proper and the Sound the sea surface …

The surface water temperature was well above normal and ranged between 4 - 6°C which is about 2-3°C above normal for the season. The deep waters in the Baltic Proper were also warmer than normal. In the Baltic Proper, the salinity was higher than usual. The concentrations of dissolved inorganic …

The expedition was included within SLU:s International Bottom Trawl Survey and covered the Skagerrak and the Kattegat.

Mapping of winter nutrient conditions was performed in the Skagerrak and 10 stations with complete hydrography were sampled. In the Kattegat area 16 stations were sampled with ctd …

During the expedition, which is part of the Swedish national marine monitoring programme, the Skagerrak, the Kattegat, the Sound and the Baltic Proper were visited. Extra stations were sampled in the Baltic Proper for winter nutrient mapping. The winds were very hard during parts of the cruise and …

Surface water temperature had dropped further since last month. The warmest surface water was found in the Skagerrak and the Baltic Proper Sea with 8°C and coldest water was found in the Gulf of Bothnia with around 2 °C. The levels of nutrients in the surface water (0-10 m) had generally increased …

The surface temperature in January was above normal at all stations and varied between 7.5°C in the Skagerak and 5.4°C in the Baltic Proper. At the west coast, the pycnocline was observed at 15 – 20 meters and in the Baltic Proper the surface water was well mixed down to 25 – 70 meters, shallowest …

The expedition was included within SLU:s International Bottom Trawl Survey and covered the Skagerrak and the Kattegat. Four of SMHIs standard stations, Släggö, Anholt E, Fladen and P2, were visited during the expedition. The first and the last station each day were sampled at standard depth for …
