The cruise report is now available from: http://www.syke.fi/download/noname/%7B86C061C0-1C16-4F0F-BCFA-7778513729E9%7D/121054
The chlorophyll a (Chl a) results are ready and they show that we hit the peak of the spring bloom in the Gulf of Finland. Further west and south, the Chl a concentration was lower, but there were still some locations with relatively high concentration of Chl a.
In the sampling stations with lowest Chl a concentration, the community of phytoplankton was dominated by small species (passing through a 10µm filter). This is typical for the situation after the spring bloom with low concentration of inorganic nitrogen.
Some figures from the cruise report:
