Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI)

The Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI) is a government agency under the Swedish Ministry of the Environment. SMHI's mission is to manage and develop information on weather, water and climate that provides knowledge and advanced decision-making data for public services, the private sector and the general public. SMHI aims to contribute to increased social benefit, safety and a sustainable society.
SMHI uses models to study the influence of climate and nutrient loads on the coastal and marine environment, in projects including AMBER, BalticWay, ECOSUPPORT and INFLOW within the BONUS program. As part of the Centre for Climate Science and Policy Research (CSPR), SMHI has expertise in the field of model-assisted participatory processes for vulnerability and adaptation assessments.
