SMHI will participate in the annual research conference European Geosciences Union General Assembly in Vienna. This year SMHI's researchers will participate in various events within our disciplines of meteorology, hydrology, oceanography and climate.

Dust from sandstorms in desert areas degrades air quality even over long distances and can cause other problems for society as well. Scientists find it difficult to study and describe these processes without interference from other aerosols. But now they have found an atmosphere rich in desert dust that can serve as a laboratory: the planet Mars.

SMHI has many years of experience of emission calculations which can provide a good basis for decisions regarding the dimensioning or risk analysis of different types of emissions in the air and water, for example.

SMHI provides daily forecasts to the general public and societal functions and issues warnings when faced with severe weather and water events. SMHI also offers products and services that function as vital support in the decision-making of, for example, Swedish authorities, organisations and municipalities.

Make forecasts of oil spill with hourly resolution and also track the discharge source.

The Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI) is home to Sweden’s leading consultancy group in air quality. We have over 30 years of experience working both nationally and internationally with atmospheric dispersion modeling and emission inventories.

Prepare for thunderstorms, strong winds and snow with SMS and email alerts, web services, and consultation.

Open access to SMHI's data is a prerequisite to progress for both research and development of new products and services.
