Our brief

As experts in meteorology,

hydrology and oceanography, we

promote efficiency, safety and

the environment in all aspects of

society.

We operate under the auspices

of the Swedish Ministry of the

Environment.

We are just over 500 employees

located at five sites and we

generate a turnover of about 65

million USD a year.

Products and services

for a weather-

dependent society

24 hours a day, every day of the

year, we supply forecasts and

decision-making data for

operations that are strongly

dependent on the weather.

We monitor our

planet’s behaviour

Continuous data collection gives

a good picture of the complex processes in the

atmosphere, in the oceans and on land. A large

number of fixed observation posts, 60 000/day,

are collected by SMHI..

A well-organised network of

observation posts with measuring stations for

collection of data is an absolute precondition

for making reliable forecasts (in Sweden about

1200)
