flows both in and downstream of the fire area, to find out how they are changed by a forest fire. “After the fire we had a different seasonal distribution of the water flows. In the autumn we had increased flows as the vegetation didn’t absorb as much water. In the spring the snow melted more quickly Last updated:

Statistical Analysis of Precipitation Data Part II Frequency Analysis of Monthly Precipitation Data

ReportsMeteorologyClimate

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 …

Arctic Climate Predictions: Pathways to Resilient, Sustainable Societies ARCPATH

OceanographyResearch
In the high latitude regions climate change is amplified via a number of different feedback mechanisms. This leads to a faster warming compared to the projected global mean trend leading to less sea ice, warmer oceanic and atmospheric temperatures and a moister atmosphere. As a consequence, the Last updated:

Operational oceanographic research

OceanographyEnvironmentResearch
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:

Oceanographic research at SMHI

OceanographyClimateEnvironmentResearch
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:

SIMSAT – simulators of satellite derived cloud datasets for climate models

MeteorologyResearch
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:

Parameterization of dry deposition in MATCH

ReportsMeteorology
The present report describes the calculation of dry deposition in the Multi scale Atmospheric Transport and Chemistry modeling system (MATCH) applied in environmental monitoring studies. For this type of applications dry deposition is parameterized by means of a resistance concept. Modeled dry Last updated:
