1 Örjan Bäck Johan Kronsell Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute Oceanographic Laboratory 1--7 Dnr: S/Gbg-1-1 Report from the SMHI monitoring cruise with M/V Meri Survey period: Principal: Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI), Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management (SwAM) Cooperation partners: Finnish Environment Institute (SYKE), VG-Shipping SUMMARY During the cruise, which is part of the Swedish national marine monitoring programme, stations in the Skagerrak, the Kattegat, the Sound, the Baltic Proper and the Sea of Åland were visited. In the Kattegat, the Sound and the Baltic Proper the winter pool of nutrients was mapped. In large areas of the Baltic Proper, the oxygen concentration in the deep water was close to zero. Anoxic conditions, when hydrogen sulfide can form, were found in the Western Gotland Basin from meters depth and from 9-1 meters in the northern parts. In the Eastern Gotland Basin low levels of hydrogen sulfide were found, but only close to the bottom. Acute hypoxia (oxygen < ) was found in the Bornholm Basin, and in the Bight of Hanö at about - meters depth, in southeastern Baltic Proper at meters, and in Eastern and Western Gotland Basin at 7 meters depth. In the Arkona Basin the oxygen concentration closest to the bottom was about 3.. The surface concentration of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) and dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP) was in general on normal levels for all of the areas monitored. The silicate concentration in all of the Baltic Proper was still above normal. The next cruise is planned to start in the middle of March.

2 RESULTS The planned January and February cruise were combined into a somewhat longer cruise. It was conducted aboard the Finnish vessel Meri, and it started in Gothenburg on the th of January and ended in the same port the th of February. The winds were mostly fresh from southwest during the cruise, but changed to strong northerly winds in the Skagerrak at the end of the cruise. The temperature was somewhat above C for most of the cruise, but dropped below C in the Kattegat and the Skagerrak. No primary production was measured during the cruise due to problems with water temperature in the incubator. This report is based on data that have passed a first quality control. When data are published at the National Oceanographic Data Centre some values might have changed after further quality controls have been performed. Data from this cruise will be published as soon as possible on the data center s webpage, normally within a week after the cruise. Download data here: (only available in Swedish). The Skagerrak The surface water temperature was for the season normal, and varied between 3-. C. Below the cooled surface water, temperatures were, for the season, above normal at the offshore stations. The salinity was normal, around psu in the surface close to the coast and up to 31 psu at Å17. Thermocline and halocline coincided at all stations, and was found at 7-1 meters depth. Nutrients in the form of dissolved inorganic nitrogen, DIN (the sum of nitrate, nitrite and ammonia), were on normal levels for the season in the surface water. Values varied between 1-11 µ, except at Å17, where the concentration was.3 µ. Concentrations below normal was in general found in the water mass below the stratification. Concentrations of dissolved inorganic phosphorus, DIP, in the water column were also on normal levels, between.-.7 µ. Silicate concentrations were higher than normal for the season in the surface water at the stations P, Å13 and Å1, and varied between µ. Otherwise concentrations were normal. No large peaks in fluorescence were found, and this indicates low phytoplankton activity. Oxygen conditions were good at all visited stations with normal concentrations for the season. The Kattegat and the Sound The water temperature was for the season normal. It was about 3. C in the surface, somewhat higher, -. C in northwestern part of the Kattegat and about C in the southern Sound. Temperature increased with depth, and was slightly above 7 C in the bottom water of the Kattegat, and just over C in the Sound. The salinity was for the season normal. It varied between 1 and 3 psu in the surface water of the Kattegat highest in northwest, and lowest in the southwest. In the Sound the salinity was 1-1 psu in the surface and up to 3 psu at the bottom. Thermocline and halocline coincided at all stations, it was found at 1- meters depth at most stations, but somewhat more shallow in the Sound and at the western stations of the Kattegat.

3 Concentrations of DIN were for the season normal. The levels had increased since last measurements in December and varied between - µ, with an exception for the station GF9 in the northwest, with 9 µ. The DIP concentration in the surface water was.-. µ, and a little higher,.7-. µ in the Sound. The concentration of both DIN and DIP increased somewhat with depth. DIN concentrations above normal were found at about 3 meters depth at Fladen. Silicate concentrations were above normal in the surface water, most obvious in the southeastern parts of the Kattegat, with concentrations of about 1 µ and in the Sound with concentrations of about 17 µ. The concentration in the surface water at the sampling points in the northwestern Kattegat was about 1 µ. Fluorescence measurements from the CTD showed low levels, which indicate low phytoplankton concentrations. The deep water was well oxygenated in the whole area which is normal for the season. The oxygen concentrations near the bottom were generally above. In the Sound it was just above. The Baltic Proper and the Sea of Åland The surface water temperature was slightly above normal in the Baltic Proper. At the coastal station Ref M1V1 it was about. C, and at the other stations the surface temperature was -. C. In the Sea of Åland the upper part of the water column was about 3 C. Surface salinity in the Arkona Basin varied between 7.-. psu, and psu in the other parts of the Baltic Proper. This is somewhat above normal for the Western Gotland Basin and normal of the rest of the Baltic Proper. In the Sea of Åland the surface salinity was slightly above. psu and at the station Tröskeln Ålands Hav it was. psu The surface was cooled down and well mixed with a distinct surface layer both thermocline and halocline coincided at stations in the Baltic Proper. In the Arkona basin the surface layer extended down to meters, in the Bornholm Basin down to meters, in the southeastern part of the Baltic Proper and in the Western Gotland Basin down to meter and in the Eastern Gotland Basin down to between 7 and meter. In the Sea of Åland there was a weak stratification at around meters depth. Nutrient concentrations of DIN and DIP in the surface layer were overall normal, but slightly above in southeastern part of the Baltic Proper and in the northern part of the Eastern Gotland Basin. Concentrations of DIN were between.- µ, except in the southeastern and northeastern part, where it was about -. µ. Concentration of DIP was around. µ in the Sea of Åland, and between.-.9 µ in the Baltic Proper. Highest concentrations were found in an around the Bight of Hanö. In the deep water, the concentrations of DIP were normal, or slightly below. Concentrations of DIN were normal, except for the Western Gotland Basin, where concentrations close to the bottom were higher, especially at BY3 where the concentration was µ in the samples closest to the bottom. The silicate concentration in all of the Baltic Proper was still above normal down to the halocline. This was most obvious in the southern parts. The concentrations varied between 1- µ, slightly higher at the coastal station Ref M1V1 and in the Sea of Åland. Large parts of the deep water of the Baltic Proper had oxygen concentrations close to zero. Anoxic conditions, when hydrogen sulfide can form, were found in the Western Gotland Basin from meters depth, and from 9-1 meters depth in the Northern Gotland Basin. In the Eastern Gotland Basin hydrogen sulfide were measured close to the bottom, but levels were low. Water with acute

4 hypoxia (oxygen < ) was found in the Bornholm Basin and in the Bight of Hanö at about - meters depth, in the south eastern part of the Baltic Proper at meters and in the Eastern and Western Gotland Basin at about 7 meters. In the Arkona Basin the oxygen concentration closest to the bottom was about 3.. Fluorescence measurements from the CTD showed low levels of phytoplankton activity, and no larger peaks were present at any station
