Time: Thursday 21 May 13.00-14.30
Room: Stora hallen B
Session chairs: Ralf Döscher, SMHI & MERGE; Minchao Wu, Lund University, MERGE & BECC,

Session description

This session explores climate change and variability in Sweden and Northern Europe by illuminating past and recent climate and projected future changes across the coupled Earth system, including the atmosphere (with aerosols), land surface, vegetation, carbon cycle, hydrology, and the ocean.
