A quite generally formulated multilevel quasi-geostrophic medel with possibilities to include second order terms in the vorticity equation is derived. The model includes friction, topography, latent heat and sensible heat. The treatment of the variable boundary conditions, smoothing and ellipticity …

The sulphur content in the precipitation collected on ocean weather ships in the North Atlantic has been analysed. From these data and from results of rajectory computations it is concluded that considerable amounts of anthropogenic sulphur are transported from North America towards Europe. The dry …

The cloud classification model SCANDIA (SMHI Cloud ANalysis model using DIgital AVHRR data) is described in this report. SCANDIA is based on multispectral processing of NOAA AVHRR imagery where cloud and surface analyses are produced in real-time for use in operational weather forecasting. Also …

A method to estimate monthly cloud conditions (total fractional cloud cover) from multispectral satellite data is described. The operational cloud classification scheme SCANDIA (the SMHI Cloud ANalysis model using DIgital AVHRR data), based on high resolution imagery from …

A limited area, off-line, Eulerian atmospheric transport model has been developed. The model is based on a terrain following vertical coordinate and a mass conserving, positive definite advection scheme, with small phase and amplitude errors. The objective has been to develop a flexible, all …

The MATCH (Mesoscale Atmospheric Transport and CHemistry) model has been developed as a tool for air pollution assessment studies on different geographical scales. The MATCH system is based on an Eulerian atmospheric transport model, including physical and chemical processes governing sources, …

A pilot project is presented, where the dispersion model MATCH is tested for studies of dispersion and deposition of lindane (y-HCH) over Europe. Comparisons between rough model calculations and long-term measurements at stations around the Baltic Sea indicate a positive correlation both for …

A network of five stations measuring the solar UV-radiation has been operated for about five years. Data are presented as plotted time-series of monthly and yearly values for the sites. A general climatology can be deduced from these data. Daily and hourly maximum values are shown for each month as …

Measurements of solar UV-radiation in a small Swedish network are presented for 1996. This report can be regarded as a supplement to a previous report, Josefsson (1996) where the results of the previous five years were reported, and where details not presented in this small report can be found. The …
