Research Projects

The Green4Extremes project will conduct an integrated assessment of how green infrastructure can provide synergistic effects that counteract both flooding and heat stress in cities while making cities more pleasant to live in.

Biomass burning has major impacts on health, climate and society globally. Using satellite data, researchers will now investigate how aerosols from forest and agricultural fires are dispersed and aged in the atmosphere.

CERISE aims to enhance the quality of C3S climate reanalyses and seasonal forecast products.

In 2021 Copernicus Climate Change Service released the dataset CARRA1, with a 30-year reanalysis of the Arctic climate (1991-2021). The CARRA dataset is now updated monthly, providing new data with three or fewer months latency. The second phase of the project has started, which will extend the …

As the energy system is becoming more complex and weather dependent, weather forecasts are of essential importance for transforming the energy landscape towards decarbonization. In this project, we combine probabilistic numerical weather prediction with machine learning algorithms in order to …

The aim of the project is to evaluate and improve numerical models that can describe dust-emissions in both air quality and climate models using observations.

Research projects focusing on the formation of secondary aerosol particles from gases provide new tools for describing the formation dynamics.

In a research project, SMHI and Gothenburg University cooperates to discover how indoor ventilation affects the transmission of virus causing infectious diseases.

New and better knowledge is needed to support sustainable decision-making on ongoing climate change and avoiding tipping points. OptimESM (and its new Earth system models (ESMs) will provide decision-makers with just that.

SMHI Meteorological research unit is involved in many international and national projects. Below you will find a selection of completed projects from recent years.
