Long waves

OceanographyEnvironment
These waves are mainly observed as variations in the sea level along the coast or when they meet the coast (tsunami). The speed of a long wave is governed by the depth, and they move faster over deep water. In a depth is 100 m, as found parts of the Baltic Sea, a long wave such as a tsunami would Last updated:

About the Hydrology Research unit

Hydrology
SMHI has a long tradition of operational hydrological modelling including forecasts of water discharge, fire hazard, design of dams and dam regulation routines, flood risk, water quality and substance transport and the effects of climate change on hydrology and water quality. Last updated:

Flood mapping

ServicesHydrology
Flood mapping is based on an inventory of existing information for the area of interest. This is often combined with measurements of flows and water levels. Based on these measurements and hydraulic models we calculate water levels and water distribution at different extreme situations. We also Last updated:
