The advanced international training programme on Climate Change - Mitigation and Adaptation (ITP 309) is sponsored by Sida and designed for decision makers in developing countries who hold positions in their home organisations with mandate to initiate change on local to national level.

The programme (2019-2024) aspires to enhance institutional capacity in developing countries in Africa on climate mitigation and adaptation, including sustainable urbanisation. Participants’ Projects of Change takes advantage of a tailored coaching effort in their fields of activity.

How fast will the AMOC and thus the Gulf Stream decline in the future, how large is the risk for a rapid reduction and what would be the impact for the European climate? In the project FutureGS these questions will be answered.

The phytoplankton diversity was very low. The number of species at Släggö was somewhat enhanced compared to the other Skagerrak and Kattegat stations, but the total cell numbers were low in the entire area. At Släggö, moderate cell numbers of the silicate flagellate Octactis speculum and its naked …

In spring, when the snow melts, the flow in the waterways increases and becomes a spring flood. The timing of when this starts has been noted for 22 watercourses, from Torneälven to Dalälven, since the beginning of the 20th century. It is clear that the spring flood starts earlier and earlier in …

It is possible to observe changes in the snow cover in different ways, for example the greatest snow depth in winter and the duration of the snow cover. Regarding the winter's greatest snow depth, it is difficult to see a clear change over time. For northern Norrland, this also applies to the …

SMHI has monitored weather and water for more than 100 years. This has poised a gold mine of observations which clearly show that the climate is changing. With climate indicators you can follow how for example how mean temperature, sea levels and days with snow varies over time and if there is …

The Skagerrak, the Kattegat, The Sound and the Baltic Proper was visited during this cruise, which

is part of the national marine monitoring programme of Sweden.

The temperature in the surface water was normal and varied between 15 and 17 degrees Celsius in all visited areas. The surface salinity …

SMHI performed an oxygen and nutrient mapping survey within SLU Aqua’s cruise; the International Bottom Trawl Survey (IBTS Q3), that covers the Skagerrak, North Sea and Kattegat. SMHI joins the cruise to perform CTD measurements in connection to each trawl and to take water samples for nutrients, …
