Expeditions, satellites and climate models

These are some of the tools that our scientists use to produce new knowledge. You can read more about how we collect data for our research here.

Climate model “family trees” reduce biases in study results

MISU researchers Peter Kuma, Frida Bender and Aiden Jönsson have developed a computer-based genealogy of climate models, with focus on atmospheric processes, that will help researchers account for the code relationships among different models. By applying these statistical methods, biases in study results can be reduced.

Fifth report from ARTofMELT

After two weeks on the same ice floe, we have drifted farther south than we would actually want, but as the onset of the surface melt was creeping closer and the end of the expedition the same, we did not have the time to go north and establish a new ice camp. So, instead we waited and yesterday it came!
