Cruise reports from the marine monitoring

The surface water in Skagerrak and Kattegat was somewhat cooler, around 11°C, than the surface water in the Baltic Proper where there was about 13°C. Inorganic nitrogen (NO2+NO3) in surface waters were close to the detection limit in all regions. The concentrations of phosphate were low …

The water temperature in the surface layer had now increased and was substantially normal for the season. In the southern and southeastern Baltic Proper relatively high concentrations of phosphate and silicate were measured. The large inflow that occurred in December 2014 could not be seen further …

The expedition was included within SLUs International Bottom Trawl Survey and covered the Skagerrak and the Kattegat. Also during the expedition, SMHIs standard frequent stations were visited. In Skagerrak 5 stations with complete hydrography were sampled and in Kattegat 4 stations. Surface …

The water temperature in the surface layer was essentially normal or somewhat lower than normal for the season. In the southern and southeastern Baltic Proper very high concentrations of phosphate and silicate were measured. The large inflow that occurred in December 2014 had now reached the …

The water temperature in the surface layer was essentially normal for the season. Spring bloom was now over in the Skagerrak and Kattegat areas and nutrients showed low concentrations. Inorganic nitrogen was below the detection limit, while there were small amounts of phosphate left. In the Baltic …

The water temperature in the surface layer was essentially normal for the season. In the Skagerrak nutrient concentrations in the surface water has risen slightly since the previous survey, while they in the Kattegat showed, for the season, typical concentrations. Phosphate and silicate were …

The water temperatures in the surface layer were essentially normal for the season. In the Kattegat as well as in the coastal zone of Skagerrak the spring bloom was in full progress and nutrients showed low concentrations. In the Baltic Proper spring bloom had started in the Arkona while winter …

The water temperature in the surface layer was normal in the Skagerrak and Kattegat while it was slightly above normal in the Baltic Proper. Surface nutrients showed for the season almost normal values, except for silicate and phosphate which, in parts of the Baltic, were elevated.

The effects of …

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 11 stations with complete hydrography were sampled. In the Kattegat area 15 stations were sampled with complete …

The expedition was part of the Swedish regular marine monitoring programme and covered Kattegat, the Sound and the Baltic Proper. Mapping of winter nutrients were performed in Kattegat. Skagerrak could not be visited due to the storm Egon. Extra sampling was made to follow up  the inflow from …
