What is SMHI doing in marine environmental monitoring?

Equal treatment gets a great focus on SMHI and is seen as a prerequisite for a good work environment. Together, employees and managers work to maintain an inclusive work environment that promotes diversity and prevents discrimination.

Cloud top temperature and height estimates obtained from AVHRR infrared imagery require a correction for semi-transparency when cirrus layers are present. In this work we investigated the possibility of using the 11 μm and
12 μm window channel brightness temperatures for the correction. We …

The total cell concentrations in the open Skagerrak and in the Kattegat were low and dominated by small cells. The coccolithophorid Emiliania huxleyi was found with the highest cell numbers. The potentially toxic diatom genus Pseudo-nitzschia* was common at all stations along the west coast. The …

The Climate Adaptation Game is now available to play for free at SMHI’s webpage. The game aims at developing better understanding of the effects of climate change, and how to meet the challenges it brings. The game can be used in education for sustainable development, or in various contexts …

The surface temperature was normal for the season and varied between 10-14 ° C, much colder than in the previous expedition in September. A thermocline still existed in the Baltic Sea at about 30 m depth, about 15 m depth in the Kattegat and in the Skagerrack almost no thermocline was left. The …

The Climate Adaptation Game increases the understanding of what a warmer climate implicates and how we can adapt to it. The game is suitable for education in sustainable development and when starting to work with climate adaptation.

SMHI has a long-lasting experience in driving operational hydrological services addresses to drinking water sector. The severe droughts experienced in the past recent years made the need of forecasts for groundwater availability also to increase. To this end, SMHI conducted work to include such …
