Pytroll – international code collaboration for satellite applications

In developing Pytroll’s software, there has been a particular emphasis on ensuring that it is easy to use, modular, free and open. All code is written in Python, and it should be possible to use the software both for research and development and in a 24/7 operational production environment. Pytroll Last updated:

Baltic Sea leads the way for the world’s oceans

NewsOceanographyResearch
. “Development in the Baltic Sea can help us predict future global changes. The brackish waters of the Baltic Sea and the special conditions associated with this inland sea have caused many changes to become concentrated and occur at a faster rate than they would have done if the sea had different conditions Last updated:

Framtidens översvämningsrisker.

ReportsHydrology
A study of the impacts of global warming on future risks for floods and inundations in Sweden has been carried out on contract from Länsförsäkringsbolagens Forskningsfond. The work focussed on River Dalälven and the big lakes Vänern, Mälaren and Hjälmaren but some nationwide analyses were carried Last updated:

About the Scenario Service - Meteorology

Complex and intertwined processes in Earth’s climate system are not always straightforward to implement in climate models due to resolution, or simply by a lack of knowledge about some processes. The climate models will therefore inevitably introduce systematic deviations, or bias, of the modelled climate Last updated:

Sea threatens new treatment plant

NewsOceanographyClimate
. Bearing in mind climate warnings of rising sea levels in the future, it was soon clear that the plans for the new treatment plant would have to be safeguarded. An inquiry into how high sea levels could rise was ordered from SMHI. The results showed that there are likely to be occasions in the future when Last updated:

A vegetation model has been linked with a high- resolution climate model to study how these interactions influence future climate projections. Calculations indicate that, when vegetation is taken into account, the Last updated:

Take the chance to host a workshop, training, brainstorming, round-table discussion at the next CORDEX conference, 25-29 September 2023

NewsClimateResearch
Soon the program for the next hybrid CORDEX conference will be set. The conference will be held 25-29 September 2023 at ICTP, Trieste (Italy) and IITM  in Pune (India), as well as online. In this process we would like to invite you to suggest topics for D-sessions. The D-sessions are more work Last updated:

However, the information content from various satellite sensors has increased exponentially in recent decades. The remote sensing products are often interdisciplinary Last updated:

Nowcasting and remote sensing

MeteorologyResearch
Prediction (NWP) models can currently only make use of a fraction of all remote sensing data. The data assimilation process includes a thinning out of the otherwise high-resolution information needed for detailed descriptions of cloud and precipitation processes at short time scales. Therefore, there is a Last updated:
