  Kattegat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kattegat (Danish), or Kattegatt (Swedish), is a bay of the North Sea and a continuation of the Skagerrak, bounded by Denmark and Sweden.
Waterways that drain into the Kattegat are the rivers of Göta älv at Gothenburg, together with Lagan, Nissan, Ätran and Viskan from the province of Halland on the Swedish side, and the river of Gudenå from Jutland, in Denmark.
The main islands of the Kattegat are Samsø, Læsø and Anholt, where the latter two, due to their dry summer climate, are referred to as the Danish desert belt.

Arriving at Aarhus, as we were early for our patrol in the Kattegat I suggested to the Captain that we fly around the town as we had seen many people in the streets, we thought it would give the people a "kick" to see the R.A.F. This we did taking photographs.
Proceeding to our assigned patrol in the Kattegat, within a few minutes we saw a U-boat apparently aground on rocks, we observed if for a few minutes, it appeared that the crew were being taken off in small boats.

 Chapter IV - 5.2
The instantaneous flux is driven by the strongly variable sea level difference between the Kattegat and the South-western Baltic Proper, which in turn is mainly influenced by mesoscale winds and air pressure variations.
Although the flow is often thought of as two-layered, with inflowing Kattegat surface water underneath outgoing Baltic Sea surface water, the flow is uni-directional, either in or out, in at least 50 % of the cases (see REF : 281).
Unlike the Kattegat, mixing in the Belt Sea is double-directed, with horizontal salinity gradients in both surface and deep water.
