Nils Gustafsson, former researcher within meteorology at SMHI, has peacefully passed away after a period of illness.

The analyses were conducted onboard the R/V Svea during the cruise, which began in Falkenberg, traversed the Baltic Sea, and concluded on the west coast. Surface samples were collected at all stations in the Baltic Sea specifically to monitor cyanobacteria blooms. Additionally, water from …

During the expedition, which is part of the Swedish pelagic monitoring program, the Skagerrak, the Kattegat, the Öresund and the Baltic Proper were visited. The expedition was combined with bottom fauna sampling in the Baltic Proper performed by Stockholm University (SU).

The temperature in the …

New types of hydrological data from different parts of the water cycle, from many locations and at many times, create conditions to fundamentally improve our hydrological modeling tools. Some examples that can help make models more robust, in a time of changes in regards to both society and …

New substances continuously enter our waterways and cause problems for ecosystems. This places new demands on information from SMHI.

Nature-based solutions involve using nature and natural processes to address various societal challenges, while benefiting biological diversity and human well-being. SMHI continues to develop climate and water information and find new methods for such solutions.

The Kattegat, Öresund, the Baltic Proper and a coastal station in Skagerrak were visited during this cruise, which is part of the Swedish environmental monitoring program area coast and sea.

The surface water temperature was normal for the month, around 7 °C on the west coast and varied between 3 …

All stations along the Swedish west coast had a dominance of diatoms. A bit surprising was also to find several cells of the bioluminescent dinoflagellate Noctiluca scintillans, at all stations. Except for this, small flagellates of various taxa were the most common, and in Skagerrak Emiliania …

During the cruise, which is part of the Swedish pelagic monitoring program, Skagerrak, Kattegat, Öresund, and the Baltic Proper were visited. In the Kattegat, a limited mapping survey of nutrients was carried out through sampling from Svea's ferrybox. Nutrients and chlorophyll were analyzed in …

Some chains of Skeletonema marinoi and Guinardia delicatula was still present as a remembrance of the spring bloom in the Kattegat and Skagerrak area. Except for the diatoms, small flagellates of different sorts were most common. The integrated chlorophyll concentrations were above normal at the …
