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 …

Changes in levels of ground level ozone have been analysed by researchers in a multi-year research programme. They can now ascertain that there is a trend towards a narrower overlap between the year’s maximal level of ground level ozone and the early growth period, which is positive.

Both the species diversity and total cell numbers were moderate at both stations in the Skagerrak at the time of sampling. Diatoms dominated with a combination of species. Several fluorescence peaks were recorded at different depths. Samples from these depths contained almost exclusively diatoms. …

Sea surface temperatures were above normal at all stations sampled in the Baltic Proper, and normal in the Sound, the Kattegat and the Skagerrak. The temperature varied from slightly below 5°C in the northern Baltic Proper up to 7.2°C in the Sound. In the Baltic Proper and the Sound the sea surface …

Researchers at SMHI have found a teleconnection between the atmospheric conditions over the subtropical Pacific during spring and summer precipitation in the Northern Europe. This discovery creates the prerequisite for a simple, yet relatively accurate, estimate of summer precipitation several …

SMHI’s hydrological model seems to have accurately predicted the ice break-up for the Lena River at Yakutsk in eastern Siberia – on the first attempt. The forecasting is made as part of a new project, where researchers from SMHI, together with partners from Russia, Japan and local …

Create art and explore climate change impacts on the marine environment in Sweden.

Both the species diversity and total cell numbers were low at all stations along the west coast at the time of sampling. The genus Tripos (formerly called Ceratium) was the most common at all stations. The potentially toxic species Dinophysis norvegica* was also found in relatively high cell …
