TL;DR: In this article, the authors classified the lake waters into three types: low, medium and high lake waters, based on the remote sensing reflectance R rs, concentrations of chlorophyll a and other pigments C i, suspended particulate matter concentrations C SPM and coloured dissolved organic matter absorption coefficient a CDOM (λ).

TL;DR: In this article, a large part of the mismatches between long-term changes to wave properties at selected sites can be explained by the rich spatial patterns in changes to the Baltic Sea wave fields that are not resolved by the existing wave observation network.

TL;DR: It is suggested that surface sediments from all Saudi Red Sea coasts should be monitored for the presence of dinoflagellate cysts to give ample warning of the presence and abundance of toxic species in a given area.

TL;DR: In this article, the trophic state of the Vistula Lagoon in 2007-2009 was determined based on the analysis of various metrics, such as various state indices, abiotic parameters and different water classifications.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the composition and levels of organic contaminants (PAHs, PCB, HCB) in four sediment cores collected from the Barents Sea and assessed the influence of temporal variations in contaminant supplies and post-depositional reworking on contaminant distribution.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the effect of storm-generated surges and falls on the Polish coast are usually the effects of three components: the volume of water in the southern Baltic, the action of tangential wind stresses in the area (wind directions: whether shore-or seaward; wind velocities; and wind action duration), and the sea surface deformation produced by deep, mesoscale baric lows moving rapidly over the southern and central Baltic that generate the so-called baric wave.

TL;DR: In this paper, the spatial distribution and dynamics of precipitation extremes were investigated for the period 1961-2008 in the country of Lithuania and showed that the recurrence of heavy precipitation events in the 21st century will increase significantly (by up to 22%) in Lithuania.

TL;DR: In this article, high-resolution wind series in the southern Baltic Sea for the period of 1958-2007 were analyzed to generate representative climate input conditions for a multi-scale morphodynamic model to simulate decadal-to-centennial coastline change.

TL;DR: In this article, an integrated ecological system model was used to determine the influence on Baltic phytoplankton of the long-term variability in the sea's main physical parameters.

TL;DR: Mytilopsis leucophaeata (Conrad's false mussel), an invasive American bivalve, was found for the first time in the Gulf of Gdansk on hard substrata (PVC panels) deployed at depths from 3.5 to 6.0 m as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, a five-year dataset of spectral aerosol optical thickness was used to analyse the seasonal variability of aerosol spectral properties (the AOT at wavelength lambda = 500 µm).

TL;DR: In this article, the vertical profiles of phosphate, total CO2 and oxygen/hydrogen sulphide were determined in the deep water of the Gotland Sea during March 2003 to July 2006 with a temporal resolution of 2-3 months.

TL;DR: In this paper, Dzierzbicka-Glowacka et al. discussed predictions of particulate organic carbon (POC) concentrations in the southern Baltic Sea (Gdansk Deep, Bornholm Deep and Gotland Deep) under predicted conditions characterized by changes of temperature, nutrients and light availability.

TL;DR: In this article, wind, flow and wave measurements were performed in the relatively narrow and shallow Suur Strait connecting the waters of the Vainameri and the Gulf of Riga.

TL;DR: Quantitative expressions are presented to describe the effects of temperature and food concentration on stage duration and growth rate of Temora longicornis for each of the model stage groups and suggest that three complete generations of T. longicORNis can develop during a single year.
