| Description | |
| Summary | The hydrographic conditions in the northern Kattegat were investigated in a 5 year project study called 'The Baltic Entrance Project: the GF Section'. In this study two sampling series at the same location are compared. The sampling frequencies differ by a factor 15. The impact on mean values of salinity and total phosphorus is discussed. The high frequency data are thinned and re-processed. Simulations of low frequency sampling are performed using high frequency data. The choice of sampling occasions and sampling frequency is important since it will influence both short and long term values, especially of surface salinity. The data has been quality controlled. |
