SMHI International Consulting Services services

SMHI`s expertise in water dynamics identifies erosion areas in watercourses, lakes and along the coast, with the help of advanced numerical models or rough calculations, all based on the client`s needs and requirements regarding accuracy.

With the web service HOME Water, it is possible to carry out a cost-efficient action planning in accordance with the EU`s framework directive for water for lakes, watercourses and coastal waters.

SMHI has many years of experience of emission calculations which can provide a good basis for decisions regarding the dimensioning or risk analysis of different types of emissions in the air and water, for example.

SMHI can provide data for the establishment of protection zones and safety regulations for surface water to supply safe areas for drinking water. An important point of departure for the delimitation of water protection areas in lakes and watercourses is to create a period of respite for emergency efforts in the event of an accident so that the water output can be stopped in time before the pollutant reaches the output point.

To speed up the clean-up operations after an oil discharge at sea or in larger lakes it is important to know where the oil is drifting and where and when it will reach the coast. With Seatrack Web government agencies can easily make forecasts with hourly resolution, and also track the discharge source.

Accidents and illegal dumping can lead to spreading of oil and other pollutants in our waters. Industries, societies for water conservation and municipalities use the high resolution system Seatrack to estimate risks for water catchments and other sensitive areas, control oil spills and educate staff.

There is seldom a gauging station at exactly the spot in a watercourse where you need information about the discharge. Because precipitation and temperature are measured more densely than the discharge of water, this information can be used as input data to calculate the flow at any point in a watercourse.

SMHI Express Consultant provides rapid and high-quality dispersion calculations for point discharges to the air. Delivery within two weeks from the date of order, with the exception of the summer holiday period and the Christmas period.

SMHI carries out qualified measurements of the air and water which form the basis of economic and environmentally strategic decisions. The investigations concern physical and/or chemical and/or biological conditions.
