Cruise reports from the marine monitoring

The cruise was part of the Swedish regular marine monitoring programme covering the Skagerrak, the Kattegat, the Sound, the Gulf of Finland and the Baltic Proper. This report is based on data that have only undergone a first quality control, when data is published at the data host some values might …

All nutrient concentrations in the surface water were very low in the Skagerrak and the Kattegat. Stratifications was found at around 10 meters and nutrient concentrations increased below 20-30 meters. The inorganic nitrogen was depleted down to 30-40 meters but phosphate was still present in the …

All nutrients in the surface water were very low in the Skagerrak and the Kattegat. At 15-20 meters, peaks in the fluorescence were observed together with high saturation of oxygen and also higher levels in nutrients. In Baltic Proper, the inorganic nitrogen (nitrite+nitrate) was used up down to 40 …

The water temperature was slightly above normal in the whole Baltic Proper. The spring bloom was ongoing in the investigated area. Phosphate showed levels above normal in the southwestern part of the Baltic Proper in the surface water. The concentrations of silicate were still above normal in the …

The temperature in the surface water was above normal in the Baltic Proper. The spring bloom had started in the Skagerrak, Kattegat and in the south western parts of Baltic Proper. Inorganic nitrogen was completely exhausted down to 10 meters in the south western parts of Baltic Proper. The …

The expedition was included within SLU:s International Bottom Trawl Survey and covered the Skagerrak and Kattegat. Mapping of winter nutrient conditions was performed in the Skagerrak and 13 stations with complete hydrography were sampled. In the Kattegat area 12 stations were sampled with complete …

The expedition was part of the Swedish marine monitoring programme and covered the Skagerrak, the Kattegat, the Sound and the Baltic Proper. Mapping of winter nutrients were performed in the Baltic Proper.  The temperature in the surface water was above normal in the Baltic Proper. The …

The temperature in the surface water was above normal in the Baltic Proper. The concentrations of nutrients were generally normal for the season in Skagerrak and Kattegat. In the Baltic Proper the concentration of phosphate was elevated in the western parts while the silicate concentration was well …

The water temperature was slightly above normal throughout the study area. The concentrations of nutrients in surface water were normal for the season in the Skagerrak and the Kattegat. In the Baltic proper, concentrations of inorganic nitrogen (NO2 + NO3) were at normal levels in the surface …

The stratification in the open sea areas of Skagerrak was very weak. In the Kattegat and the Baltic Proper sea surface temperature values was slightly above normal. Surface nutrients showed mainly values typical for the season, except for silicate which had concentrations well above normal in the …
