New and better knowledge is needed to support sustainable decision-making on ongoing climate change and avoiding tipping points. OptimESM (Optimal High Resolution Earth System Models for Exploring Future Climate Changes) and its new Earth system models (ESMs) will provide decision-makers with just …

Ongoing and past international development cooperation projects and programmes. 

Local, regional and global sustainable development is central to SMHI’s international development cooperation activities. 

SMHI contributes to  through international development cooperation. The overall aim is that all countries shall have an equal capacity to handle and plan for the effects of weather, water and climate. 

For three days, scientists and stakeholders from all over Sweden talked about ongoing climate research, what is happening to the climate and the role of climate research for society. The symposium attracted media attention and was appreciated by the participants.

How does a warmer climate affect the future wind resource and thereby changes the wind power production? This information is important for the wind power industry and for any decisions made with respect to the future electrical energy system.

During the cruise, which is part of the Swedish pelagic monitoring program, the Skagerrak, Kattegat, the Sound and the Baltic Proper were visited.

The warming of the surface water had started in all the visited sea areas, but for natural reasons the temperature increase is somewhat slower in the …

In the Skagerrak, both cell abundance and diversity were low at Å17, the diversity was however higher at Släggö. At Släggö the toxin producing dinoflagellate Dinophysis norvegica* was present in quite high cell numbers. In Kattegat, at the first sampling occasion at Anholt E the water was …

Sweden has experienced a range of extreme events that are likely to be stronger and more frequent in a warmer climate. With the new genrerations high-resolution climate models we are closer towards more usable information on climate and climate extremes.

Long before the industrial revolution humans have cut down forest to make room for arable land and pasture, or to improve the possibilities for hunting. Such changes in the vegetation impact the local climate, and therefore there are reasons to believe that human activities have impacted the …
