| | Monitoring cruise with r/v Gunnar Thorson in the Sound, Kattegat, Belt Sea and Arkona Sea, 11-16 October 1998. Cruise no. 187 |
 | | In the Fehmarn Belt, where practical no oxygen was present at the sediment surface the month before, the minimum oxygen concentration now was close to saturation (6,2 ml/l; 89%). |
 | | The surface salinity was lower, and the bottom water salinity higher than long term mean, except for lower bottom water salinity in the Fehmarn Belt and at Gedser Rev. The salinity stratification was strong (>10 psu), except in the Fehmarn Belt and Gedser Rev area, where the water column was well mixed. |
 | | The surface salinity had decreased since September in the Kattegat and Fehmarn Belt, but increased in the Sound and Great Belt (St. 431, 921, 925, 935, 443, 450), and ranged from 7.9-8.6 in the Arkona Sea (St. 441, 449) to 20.1-20.9 in the north-eastern Kattegat (St. 905, 1001). |
