Website

This is a WMS viewing service published by SMHI (Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute) that displays oceanographic stations measuring salinity. It shows all stations that have ever delivered data for this parameter, with measurements collected from ferry-mounted sensors (FerryBox) or ocean buoys. The service covers Swedish national waters and is intended for visualizing the geographic distribution and coverage of salinity monitoring stations rather than providing the underlying observational data itself.Visningstjänsten är en WMS-tjänst som visar oceanografiska stationer som mäter salthalt. Tjänsten visar alla stationer som någonsin levererat data för denna parametrar. Insamlade från fartyg (FERRYBOX) eller havsbojar.
