Nå får de en ny supernedbørmåler som skal gi bedre observasjoner.

Alertness was one of 29 new research projects selected by the Norwegian Research Council for inclusion in a database of Arctic research projects.

I en ny studie har forskere fra Meteorologisk institutt undersøkt mulighetene for å varsle været på enda mer detaljert nivå enn de gjør i dag. Med seg på veien har de hatt studenter på feltarbeid på Svalbard.

Marvin Kähnert, University of Bergen, Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research and PhD student in Alertness, is featured on the Polar Prediction webiste.

An inspiration for the final year of Alertness.

On October 1st, Alertness will deliver a report to the Norwegian Research Council, who are funding the project.

Special conditions and few available observations provide extra challenges when forecasting weather in the northern regions. How do researchers work with improving weather forecasts in the Arctic?

Den kaotiske atmosfæren vår gjør at værvarselet aldri kan bli helt riktig. Også andre ting gjør at meteorologene bommer.

Ph.d.-student in the Alertness project Marvin Kähnert recently visited the Bjerknes Centre’s climate podcast.

We have established an overview of the main reference cases that scientists in the Alertness project are working on.

This ambitious expedition will help improve weather forecasts from the weather service Yr.

Ola Aashamar har skrevet en masteroppgave i forbindelse med Alertness-prosjektet. Her kan du lese et sammendrag av oppgaven hans.

In the days that end October and start November, the Alertness project will be hosting its second science meeting, for researchers and collaborating scientists in the field.

The thick, white fog outside the airport window left no doubt about the reason why my flight from Tromsø to Alta was delayed. It was drifting in from the sea, seeping into every fjord and valley, as is common during late summer and early autumn at these latitudes. There was nothing I could do other than text message the conference organizer to tell him that I would not be able to come in time for the talk that I had promised to give.

En fisker kan risikere livet hvis han legger ut på sjøen i farlig vær, men han vil miste en mulighet til verdifull fangst hvis et unødvendig pessimistisk værvarsel holder ham på land lenger enn nødvendig.

New paper out on model comparisons. Questions and answers with lead author Morten Køltzow

Snow avalanches have always been a part of winter life in the mountainous parts of Norway. Forecasting high-impact weather events in the Arctic has proven to be especially challenging. As part of the Alertness project, researchers are developing an ensemble setup adapted to Arctic conditions and challenges.
