The climate issue is extremely complex and affects both the future development of the climate system and of society. The need for information about climate change and its impact on various regions and sectors is increasing steadily. To deal with the climate of the future, we need to develop methods …

Rossby Center is SMHI's research unit for climate modelling. We study the climate system and the underlying processes as well as climate change and its future development globally and regionally. Our main work tools are global and regional climate models that we develop.

The oceanographic research group at SMHI has expertise in a wide range of ocean science fields such as numerical modeling, remote sensing, marine biology and marine observations.

How is the ocean affected by climate change and what is the ocean’s role in the climate system? How is the Baltic Sea affected by a warmer climate and changes in the freshwater fluxes from land? These are the types of questions that SMHI’s research on ocean climate is trying to answer.

RCO (Rossby Centre Ocean model) is an oceanographic circulation model.This means the model calculates how the water flows and such thingswhich influences currents such as temperature, salinity and icecover. RCO is mostly used for the Baltic Sea and the Arctic Sea.

Numerical models are our main tools when doing oceanographic research. We develop and use a suite of sophisticated models describing the physical and biogeochemical processes in the sea. In some applications the models might be coupled together in a multi model system.
