A minor autumn bloom was observed at the Skagerrak and Kattegat stations with high phytoplankton diversity. The flagellate Dictyocha speculum* was found in a so called naked stage, without the silica structure, when the species is potentially harmful. The species was numerous in the Skagerrak and …

The temperature in the surface water was now normal and the cooling of the surface water had started. This was clearly seen in the Skagerrak and Kattegat. The salinity showed normal values in the whole investigated area. Generally, the nutrient concentrations in the surface water had increased …

CLIMATEUROPE (European climate observations, modelling and services) will coordinate and support Europe’s knowledge base to enable better management of climate-related risks and opportunities, thereby creating greater social and economic value.

CRESCENDO (Coordinated research in Earth Systems and climate: experiments, knowledge, dissemination and outreach) will improve the representation of key processes in European Earth System Models (ESMs), use the models to generate a new set of Earth system projections for the coming century and …

Forecasts from SMHI are an important piece of the puzzle for safer and more efficient shipping, which is the aim of the EU’s Sea Traffic Management (STM) project. Today, international shipping is relatively unregulated when compared to aviation. The route a particular ship is planning to take is …

The European Commission has recently stated (“Roadmap for Climate Services”, 2015) that climate services have the potential to become the intelligence behind the transition to a climate-resilient society. In this scope, the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) aims to provide information that …

Solar and wind power are growing in Europe and represents a growing part of energy production. This makes information about climate change more important. It is also about the risks of extreme weather that can affect transmission and offshore business. Now SMHI contribute to increased knowledge …

The phytoplankton diversity was low in the Skagerrak area and at the station Släggö, the chlorophyll a concentrations were below normal for this month. The number of species and the number of cells were higher in the Kattegat than in the Skagerrak, but chlorophyll a concentrations were low. In the …
