This year’s cyanobacteria bloom in the Baltic Sea has just started. The bloom is visible in satellite images from SMHI’s monitoring system ’Baltic Algae Watch System’. SMHI has also created a short informative film raising the awareness about algae and phytoplankton, and their role in the marine …

The film "Adapt to a changing climate – examples from municipalities” offers an introduction to how society can be adapted to a changing climate and why it is important.

Both the species diversity and total cell numbers were higher at Släggö (coastal station) than at Å17 (outer sea) at the time of sampling. Diatoms dominated at both stations and predominantly Guinardia flaccida was found. This species also dominated in the fluorescence peaks that were sampled. The …

As the climate changes, high-resolution and regional climate models become increasingly important as a basis for decision making. HCLIM is a regional climate model that can run at high resolution and is able to reproduce precipitation extremes, urban temperature, climate over mountainous regions …

The surface water temperature varied between 10-16 °C, which is normal for the season. At most stations in the Baltic Proper, the temperature in the entire depth profile was above normal. The cooling that normally occurs during winter was 2019/2020 very weak. The salinity in the Baltic Proper was …

An art contest on the theme climate change impacts on the marine environment is today launched by the ClimeMarine project at SMHI and Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management. Students in Sweden are invited to illustrate this exciting and important issue.

The WCRP Joint Scientific Committee Session is an annual meeting where the leaders of the WCRP research community discuss progress towards the Programme's objectives and make decisions that will determine the future direction of the Programme. The 41st Session of the WCRP Joint Scientific Committee …

Understanding the wind in the atmosphere is very important for both weather forecasts and climate models. In August 2018 the satellite Aeolus was therefore launched to test a completely new way of measuring winds over the entire world using a very sophisticated Doppler wind lidar instrument. The …

The European project MUFFIN (Multi-Scale Flood Forecasting) aimed to develop innovative systems and solutions for predicting and managing flooding in urban environments. This included comparing and evaluating observation and forecasting systems ranging from local to national scales. The …

The surface water temperature varied between 6-10 °C, which is normal for the season. At most stations in the Baltic Proper, the temperature in the entire depth profile was above normal. The cooling that normally occurs during winter was 2019/2020 very weak. The surface water had now started to …
