Research Projects

The project objective is to develop and run an ensemble system of regional reanalyses for the climatological time scale. The information content of the datasets and their uncertainties will be assessed in several ways and statistics analysed.

The objective of the project is to provide operators of power plants using concentrating solar technologies (CST) with reliable forecasts of the direct normal irradiance (DNI).

The project goal is to increase the investments in PV technology by describing how data of solar irradiance and temperature can be processed to generate accurate evaluations of forecasted solar electricity generation in Sweden.

The overall goal of EURO4M was to develop the capacity for, and deliver the best possible and most complete (gridded) climate change time series and monitoring services covering all of Europe. These enable adequate descriptions of the status and evolution of the Earth system components.

The objective is to improve meteorological and hydrological model forecasts on the km-scale by assimilating satellite radiance and backscatter data regarding the Earth's surface and near-surface properties using modern ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) techniques.

An in situ observation and modelling study of the effect of a natural Baltic oxygenation-deoxygenation cycle on benthic recycling of P, N, Si and C.

Satellite product simulators simulate what would be observed by satellite instruments if the underlying atmosphere was that of the model. This allows for a fairer/more useful comparison between models and observations. SMHI is developing two satellite simulators, the EUMETSAT CMSAF simulator and …

VINDRAD+ creates conditions to open up for the construction of more wind turbines near a weather radar by installing a gap-filling radar

The project will investigate the feasibility to implement a wind turbine filter into the signal processor of modernised weather radars.

How can Arctic climate projections be improved on a regional and local scale? That is one of the main topics that the Nordic Centre of Excellence funded project ARCPATH seeks to answer.
