The southern part of the Baltic Sea

Ammonium and ammonia concentration parameters in water bodies; Air pressure; Air temperature; Cloud cover height and extent; Wind strength and direction; Nitrate concentration parameters in the water column; Phosphate concentration parameters in the water column; Salinity of the water column; Horizontal velocity of the water column (currents); Dissolved total and organic nitrogen concentrations in the water column; Dissolved total or organic phosphorus concentration in the water column; Nitrite concentration parameters in the water column; Silicate concentration parameters in the water column; Temperature of the water column

The aim of the international BOSEX, coordinated by the ICES/SCOR Working Group on the Study of the Pollution of the Baltic, was to join together elements of physical, chemical and biological tasks. The data were collected with a research vessel at the central buoy of the BOSEX. Generally the sampling was carried out with a 3 hour time difference with the ships alternating in the work. The data has been quality controlled.
