How to provide an integral measure of uncertainty for the entire downscaling chain (global climate models / downscaling / bias adjustment / regional impact studies)?

seawater levels are specific to one area. To obtain a possible image of future seawater levels in Swedish waters we use the results from the latest IPCC report and from other relevant research. We also take into consideration the elevation of the land, which varies along the Swedish coast. Our assessments Last updated: Oct 24, 2022

Seatrack is a system for calculation and presentation of the spread of different substances and objects in lakes and watercourses, and is used for risk analyses, zones for protection of drinkiing water and operative control of oil discharges. In connection with the control of pollution it is highly Last updated: Oct 24, 2022

affect of the earth’s rotation, which is to the right in the northern hemisphere. Nansen continued to thing about this phenomenon. When the wind, due to friction against the water surface, drives the water in the top layer a little to the right, then this water layer will in turn, through internal Last updated: Apr 23, 2014

sandy beaches the sand is in constant motion. Sand banks are formed and changed depending on the sea level and the size of the waves. A wave breaks when the depth is less than 1.3 times the wave height. After a wave has broken, it keeps moving forward while continuing to break. After a certain distance Last updated: Mar 20, 2017
