The analyses were made on bord the ship Svea during the cruise. Water from integrated sampels or discrete depths were filtrated down to filters with 5μm pore size. The method is most suitebale for identifying larger and more robust cells whereas smaller cells and fragile cells are difficult to …

The Arctic's declining sea ice may melt away earlier than research to date has shown. As early as around 2035, the Arctic could be ice-free in summer at a high greenhouse gas emission scenario, and before 2050 at a low emission scenario. Two of SMHI's researchers have analysed the future Arctic sea …

Two years after the training course in Meteorology, Met Éireann – The Irish Meteorological Service – has hired SMHI again to hold a course on the use of HYPE hydrological model for flood forecasting, which makes SMHIs expertise knowledgeable.

In the course of 5 years over 200 Swedish students involved in the CRESCENDOschools network  visited SMHI in several occasions to discuss causes, impacts, adaptation and mitigation of climate change. Here is some of the material produced and resulting from those visits.

Serious games have a role to play in communicating and educating about climate change. CRESCENDOschools activities in this field included a climate adaptation game and a climate quiz.

All stations along the west coast had a domination of diatoms to some extent. Most common was Dactyliosolen fragilissimus. The dinoflagellates were not common and mostly represented by the genus Tripos. The coccolithophorid Emiliania huxleyi was found in relatively high numbers at several stations. …

Warming of the surface water (0-10m) at all sea basins continued in May. At several stations, the increase was about 5 ℃ compared with previous month. The salinity of the surface water at the outer stations in the Skagerrak were slightly above normal. In the Kattegat, which had salinity above …

Report - The oxygen situation in the Baltic Sea 2020

Annual report of the Swedish oceanographic monitoring in open seas.

In the joint research and development project FANFAR, SMHI and partners in 17 West African and three European countries have created an Early Warning System that provides a better opportunity for West African societies to act and minimize flood impacts. The system is now in use and the Nigerian …
