From 2019 to 2022, SMHI worked on a project led by the Swedish EPA aimed at improving the understanding of air pollution in Bosnian urban areas. The focus was on identifying sources of air pollution and making air quality data more accessible.

The main goals of this regional project in the Western Balkans, spanning from 2022 to 2026, are to equip stakeholders with the tools required to understand the air quality situation, leading causes of air pollution, and necessary improvements.

On May 15-17 it is time for a new edition of the Swedish Climate Symposium in Norrköping. The focus is climate research for society and we welcome both researchers and practitioners to join, for three days centered around understanding the science, investigating implications and exploring …

The diatom spring bloom was ongoing at Anholt E and Fladen in the Kattegat, but at all other Kattegat and Skagerrak stations the total cell numbers were moderate although the scene was set when it comes to species. The abundance and biodiversity were low in the Baltic Sea, although moderate amounts …
