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 hydrological modelling
- Forecasts of Water Variables
- Hydrometeorological extremes in a future climate
- Urban hydrological risk assessment
- Water quality deterioration
- Enhancing Water Knowledge with New Data and Capacity
- Visualisation in Water and Climate Services
