and salinity in the surface water were normal for the season and varied between 5.6-6.7 °C and 22.1-30.4 psu respectively. Both the thermocline and halocline were found at 5-10 meters depth. The amounts of nutrients in the surface were low, which is normal for this season. In the offshore areas the Last updated:

SMHI Added

ServicesMeteorology
SMHI MetPro offers you the opportunity to compare different parameters, at different levels, from different model runs, side by side on the same display. Analysis and evaluation of different forecasts become then both easier, faster and more reliable. The MetPro package includes ECMWF and GFS weather Last updated:

Ice conditions in the Baltic

Oceanography
detailed ice information, down to a resolution of 20x20 m, can be obtained from a satellite-based instrument called Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR). Both the Canadian RADARSAT and the European ENVISAT are equipped with SAR sensors. A good description of the current ice situation is also needed as input to Last updated:

High ammonium concentrations were measured above halocline and high nitrite levels were recorded in the intermediate water. At P2, in the south-eastern part, surface nutrient Last updated:

Solar radiation forecasts for control and monitoring of the electrical grid

MeteorologyResearch
The goal is twofold first to develop solar radiation forecasts to gain knowledge about the Nordic PV production in space and time, second to study how such forecasts can be used to maintain a reliable electric power infrastructure by means of needs-based control, diagnostics and evaluation of the Last updated:
