The first step has now been taken towards a common climate change adaptation strategy for the Baltic Sea Region. The large-scale EU project Baltadapt, where SMHI is one of the partners, is mainly focused on how the sea and coastal areas can be adapted to a change in climate.

The phytoplankton species diversity was low in both the Kattegat and the Skagerrak. Small flagellates dominated and especially different cryptomonads were common. The integrated (0-20m) chlorophyll concentrations were within normal in the Skagerrak and lower than normal in the Kattegat. The …

Research results from SMHI unit are published in several different forums. Our publications are grouped into peer-reviewed scientific articles, conference papers and reports, popular articles and reports.

The hydrological research unit has commissions at national and international levels, here is a list of some of the larger organizations.

This pedagogic 11 minutes video "Urban Water Vision" explains the necessity to downscale climate model output in order to adapt to future intense rainfall over urbanized areas.

In Skagerrak and Kattegat, nutrient conditions were normal for the season, with the exception of silicate, that in Kattegat showed elevated concentrations. In the Sound, both phosphate and silicate levels were much higher than normal. In the Baltic Proper concentrations of phosphate and silicate …

Oxygen conditions in the south eastern Baltic have improved thanks to an inflow of oxygen-rich water from the North Sea during November/December 2011. This inflow has also caused the concentrations of phosphate and silicate to increase in the surface waters, which could cause excessive algal blooms …

The phytoplankton diversity was very low in the Skagerrak and the Kattegat and cryptomonads were the most numerous. The integrated (0-20m) chlorophyll a concentrations were within normal in the Skagerrak and slightly below normal in the Kattegat. In the Southern Baltic a declining diatom bloom was …

In the Skagerrak and Kattegat, the situation was normal for the season. In the Sound, phosphate and silicate concentrations were much higher than normal. In the Baltic Proper the spring bloom was underway, but the concentrations of phosphate and silicate were still much higher than normal. The …

The diatom spring bloom had ceased in The Kattegatt and Skagerrak areas. The total cell concentrations were very low and dominated by cryptomonads and ciliates. The integrated (0-20 meters) chlorophyll a concentrations were lower than normal in the Kattegatt and Skagerrak areas. The total cell …
