A study examining heat in urban environments has shown that good physical planning reduces the urban heat island effect, making it easier to deal with heatwaves. Knowledge from research on heat in cities from the Hazard Support project has now been compiled at smhi.se.

A changed climate with more extreme weather involves a heightened risk of natural hazards if society is not prepared for the new conditions. How do municipalities and other stakeholders use new research in their planning? SMHI and SEI have examined how research can be designed to meet users’ needs.

On 13 October, International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction, the UN’s World Meteorological Organization issued a report on risk information and early warning systems. Despite the fact that such systems help to save lives and property, many countries still lack them. SMHI is involved in several …

The surface water (0-10 m) in the northern parts of the Baltic Proper had for the season normal temperature. But in the Arkona Basin, the Bornholm Basin and the Bight of Hanö the sea surface temperature was above normal. In the Kattegat and the Skagerrak there were mostly normal sea surface …

We can proudly present the winner of the ClimeMarine art contest: Malva Crona from Malungs folkhögskola, with a cartoon featuring various aspects of Marine Spatial Planning and climate change.

The phytoplankton diversity varied along the Swedish west coast. At Anholt E and Släggö it was moderate whereas Å17 and N14 Falkenberg had few cells and mainly small ones. Relatively high cell abundance of the coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi was found at all stations. The integrated chlorophyll …

SMHI's climate modeling research unit Rossby Center participates with two research projects at the online exhibition Science is Wonderful! on 22-24 September during the European Research and Innovation Days.

The Aquaclew project has, during the last three years, advanced data quality in Pan-European climate services for the water sector. Robustness, Resolution and Recruitment describes the performance through the entire Climate Service production chain.

SMHI performed an oxygen survey within SLU-Aqua’s cruise; the International Bottom Trawl Survey, that covers the Skagerrak and the Kattegat. SMHI joined the cruise to perform CTD measurements in connection to each trawl and to take water samples for the annual oxygen survey. Samples for nutrients …
