As part of a model intercomparison exercise, with participants from a number of Asian, European and American institutes, sulphur transport and conversion calculations were conducted over an East Asian domain for 2 different months in 1993. All participants used the same emission inventory and …

The Baltic Sea Experiment (BALTEX) is the European regional project within the Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment (GEWEX). The BALTEX Working Group on Radar (WGR) is responsible for coordinating weather radar activities within the framework of BALTEX, including the establishment and operation …

A summary of the quality control, quality assurance and measurements of total ozone at Norrköping and Vindeln during the period 1997-1999 is made. The Brewer #006 and Brewer #128 were compared to the travelling reference Brewer #017 at Vindeln in 1999. Major changes in the measurements and …

The C band weather radars of today are sensitive enough to record clear air echos from the boundary layer during the warmer seasons even in latitudes as high as Scandinavia. Such clear air echos have long been recognised in the US and a.o. used to retrieve the wind. Curiously enough, in Europe …

Precipitation rnonitoring is a rnain task for weather radar applications. In quantitative applications, as estirnation of the rain rate, the fundamental quantity is the rneasurernent of the intensity of the retum signal strength, giving the so called reflectivity factor, or reflectivity, which is …

The Swedish Regional Clirnate Modeling Program (SWECLIM) is a 6-year national research effort with the airn of providing the Swedish society with more detailed regional climate scenarios than typically available from international global clirnate rnodel simulations. The background is the perceived …

Temperature, salinity, sea ice and sea leve! in the Baltic Sea have been analyzed under different climate conditions using a 3D coupled ice-ocean mode!. As a reference, hindcast simulations for the period 1980-93 have been performed with observed three-hourly meteorological forcing fields and …

Today, modern analysis systems synthesise meteorological data from a number of sources, e.g.\ round based SYNOP, satellites, radar, etc., into field information which enable us to model radiation at the Earth’s surface on the mesoscale. At the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute …

A ten-year NOAA A VHRR cloud climatology with a horizontal resolution of four km has been compiled over the Scandinavian region based on results from near real-lime cloud classifications of the SMHl SCANDlA mode!. The frequency and geographic distribution ofthe cloud groups Low-, Medium- and …

A new version of the land surface scheme has been completed and is now applied in comparative tests of version 2 of the Rossby Centre Regional Atmospheric Climate Model (RCA2) using analysed fields from the ECMWF reanalysis project (ERA). The scheme contains two soil layers and a vegetation layer. …
