New European air chemistry forecast service
We all know how much the weather affects our everyday lives, but variations in the chemical composition of the air also play a decisive role, mainly, perhaps, in terms of the climate and for our health. Now a completely new European air chemistry forecast service is being established.

Real-time monitoring commences in the Baltic Sea and the Kattegat
Now SMHI and SYKE are increasing their joint monitoring of the state of the environment in the Gulf of Bothnia, the Baltic Proper and the Kattegat. A TransAtlantic merchant vessel that plies the seas non-stop has been equipped with a “FerryBox”. Every 20 seconds, automatic measurements of the water and air are taken and the results are sent by satellite once an hour. Water samples – to indicate, for example, algal bloom – are taken automatically at up to 24 locations.
