. Halocline and thermocline were found at depths between 60 and 65 metres. In the southern Baltic however, they were found at 40-45 metres. In the Arkona Basin the halocline was at 30 metres. There was no thermocline. Phosphate and silicate concentrations were higher than normal for the season in the southern Last updated:

Climate models

Intercomparison Project Phase 5 and 6 (CMIP5 and CMIP6). The current EC-Earth3-version includes options for atmospheric composition, dynamic vegetation, ocean bio-geo-chemistry and a Greenland ice sheet and allows thus to analyse interactions and feedbacks between different Earth system components and their Last updated:

Bilateral collaboration in Chile

Air environment SMHI has been working with a pilot project during the years 2013-2014 in Osorno, a town in the south of Chile. The aim was to develop a method of quantifying emissions of particles and their impact in towns in the south of Chile, where wood is burned for domestic heating. SMHI Last updated:
