The Hydrology Research unit is engaged in numerous research projects, commissioned work and continuous development of the SMHI work-flow for hydrological forecasts and assessments. The work is often user-driven and performed in collaboration with external partners in Sweden, Europe or other parts of the world. In addition, we produce Open Data from our computational systems and Open Source Codes for hydrological modelling.
At present we mainly address the following challenges:
- Large-scale multi-basin modelling and comparative hydrology.
- Effective work flows in SMHI water-information production.
- Water quality and hydrological forecasts for Sweden.
- Intensive precipitation and urban hydrological forecasts.
- Climate change impacts on hydrology: Uncertainty and New Methods.
- Earth Observation and Data assimilation.
