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 …

The temperature in the surface water was high for the season, at its lowest in the northern Baltic Proper at 16.5 °C up to almost 20 °C in the Hanö Bay. The salinity on the west coast was normal or slightly below, in the Baltic Proper it was normal except in the northeast where it was somewhat …

In this report, an ensemble of releases of passive particles at locations close to some selected ports around the Baltic Sea and Kattegat are modelled. The particles are transported with the currents. Maps of particle densities at 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 and 52 weeks after the release are presented.
The …

Green Infrastructure (GI) has recently gained prominence as a planning tool at regional and local levels. GI provides a range of ecosystem services, and new initiatives can build on state-of-the-art research and on delivery mechanisms such as urban forestry (UF). However, greater attention is …
