Within the SMHI meteorological research there are six strategically important research areas. Within these areas, we have increased the focus that drives research and development forward and increases the social benefit of the results.

By doing reanalyses of past weather observations, researchers can create longer and coherent time series of past weather, with more details and higher resolution than before. The information can be used e.g. to validate climate models or to run other, fine scale models.

Enhancing Food Security in African AgiriCultural Systems with the support of Remote Sensing.

Future Resilience for African Cities and Lands (FRACTAL) is a four year project within the multi-consortia Future Climate for Africa (FCFA) program. The project addresses the challenge of providing accessible, timely, applicable and defensible climate information that is needed by …

Climate change affects all the Nordic countries, and can make us more vulnerable. But there are many ways society can prepare for this. A Nordic conference will allow various stakeholders to get together, and be inspired by solutions to the problem of climate change. It will take place in …

SMHI, with support from Sida, is working together with sister authorities in Ethiopia under a new three-year capacity development project. The goal is to strengthen operational water and climate information services in the country.

In large areas of the Baltic Proper, the oxygen concentration in the deep water was close to zero. Anoxic conditions, when hydrogen sulfide can form, were found in the Western Gotland Basin from 80 meters depth and from 90-125 meters in the northern parts. In the Eastern Gotland Basin low levels of …

All phytoplankton samples from the Skagerrak, the Kattegat and the Baltic Sea had low species diversities. All of the cell counts were very low. The integrated chlorophyll concentrations were normal at the Baltic stations and below normal at the Skagerrak and Kattegat stations.

No details will be …

The overarching objective of the European Climate Prediction (EUCP) system is to develop an innovative European regional ensemble climate prediction system based on a new generation of improved and typically higher-resolution climate models, covering timescales from seasons to decades initialized …
