Cloud Feedback Model Intercomparison Project (CFMIP) Observation Simulator Package (COSP). This is mandatory if the satellite datasets are to take part in experiments for the next IPCC report. To be included in COSP, the research using the simulators must be published in peer reviewed articles. Not only Last updated: Oct 10, 2022

-Wilhelms-Universitaet Bonn Role of SMHI Besides coordinating the project, SMHI will work run the HARMONIE Data Assimilation system for the entire European area with surrounding sea areas at as high resolution as is possible (11 km and 65 levels). It will be run over a 50 year period, from 1961, and serve as one member of a Last updated: Jul 07, 2022

The frequency distributions of monthly precipitation amounts have been investigated. Data from the period 1931-78 for 262 Swedish and 26 Norwegian stations have been used. The statistical analysis consists of determining the capacity of well-known frequency distribution functions to match the …

Ocean forecasts are done in a similar manner as weather forecasts are done. The variables of greatest interest are significant wave height sea level ice extent (ice concentration, thickness, and ridges) currents sea-surface temperature The first variable, significant wave height, is calculated at Last updated: Apr 25, 2017

Our field of research in oceanography combines physical processes in the ocean with biogeochemical and other environmental processes. A lot of the research is focused on seas surrounding Sweden - Baltic Sea, Kattegat and Skagerrak - but increasing interest is also paid to the Arctic Ocean and the Last updated: Jul 24, 2023

Such variations will also occur in the future although a typical cold season will most likely be less cold while a warm season will be even warmer following the long-term background warming. Mild and snow-free conditions in winters will reduce the number of extreme cold events. For summers Last updated: Sep 04, 2018
