1 Hur kommer klimatet att påverka Östersjöns and Västerhavets framtid? H.E. Markus Meier Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute and Stockholm University

2 IPCC 2013

3 Added value of regional climate modeling

4 Regional climate modeling at the SMHI Global Regional

5 New scenario simulations following IPCC 2013 New scenarios (SRES -> Representative concentration pathways RCPs) New global climate model runs New regional climate model Ensemble approach required to describe uncertainties in future climate change

16 (Source: Meier et al., 2012, ERL) Simulated ensemble averages and observed annual mean water temperatures ((a), (b)) and salinities ((c), (d)) at Gotland Deep at 1.5 and 200 m depth, annual mean oxygen concentrations at 200 m depth (e), and winter (January March) mean surface phosphate (f) and nitrate (g) concentrations. Shaded areas denote the ranges of plus/minus one standard deviation around the ensemble averages. The various nutrient load scenarios ( ) are shown by colored lines (REF yellow, BSAP blue, BAU red) and the reconstruction ( ) by the black line. For comparison, observations from monitoring cruises at Gotland Deep (green diamonds, in panel (a) since 1970 only) and from the light ship Svenska Björn, operated during (orange triangles in panel (a)), were used. 16

20 BALTEX successor programme lauched at the 7 th Study Conference on BALTEX, Borgholm, Öland, Sweden, June 2013 Vision of the new programme To achieve an improved Earth System understanding of the Baltic Sea region Interdisciplinary and international collaboration (study conferences, workshops, etc.) Holistic view on the Earth system of the Baltic Sea region, encompassing processes in the atmosphere, on land and in the sea and also in the anthroposphere Service to society in the respect that thematic assessments provide an overview over knowledge gaps which need to be filled (e.g. by funded projects) Education (summer schools) Inherits the BALTEX network of scientists and infrastructure
