The European Climate Research Alliance (ECRA) is an association of 23 leading European research institutions. ECRA’s objective is to bring together, expand and optimise expertise in climate research through a bottom-up approach. The initiative is a platform for joint research planning by sharing …

G.I.Nord synthesis project aims at defining critical knowledge gaps and practical needs and obstacles to an efficient implementation of Urban Green Infrastructure (UGI) as a climate change adaptation tool in urban planning. Together with stakeholders, end-users and experts, lessons and experiences …

MERGE (Modelling the regional and global Earth system) is a collaboration between: Lund University, University of Gothenburg, Rossby Centre/SMHI, Linnaeus University, Chalmers University of Technology and Royal Institute of Technology. In 2017, MERGE involved more than 120 researchers, including …

The Bolin Centre for climate research is a multi-disciplinary consortium of 350 scientists in Sweden that conducts research and graduate education related to the Earth's climate.

The Rossby Centre is involved in national and international networks within climate science, modelling and research.

Before 1969, waste and chemicals used in the Swedish forest industry (pulp and paper mills), were allowed to be discharged directly in nature, most often in the closest watercourse. Today, the pollutants are an environmental issue. Researchers will now investigate how far the pollutants can be …

In this study we have investigated the effects of emissions from aviation on air quality in both Swedish and European domains. The results will be used as a basis to estimate the marginal cost for air traffic in Sweden. The vertical, geographical and temporal distribution of aviation emissions over …

The consequences of this summer’s weather have included droughts, heatwaves and wildfires, straining the society’s capacity to cope with such perils. Most of the Nordic and Baltic countries have experienced the hottest summer on record, while the number of days with rain in parts of Iceland was …

Together with eight subcontractors, SMHI will expand Copernicus’ archive of detailed regional climate simulations for Europe. This will allow for comparisons of how different emission levels affect climate change.

In stiff competition with other major European institutes, SMHI has signed a contract with the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) to develop an operational climate service for the water sector in Europe. The development is being conducted within Copernicus, the European …
