The Norwegian Meteorological Institutes main task is to help secure life and property. Since 2007 and the launch of the weather service Yr, a collaboration between the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK) and the Norwegian Meteorological Institute (MET Norway), the focus has been on communicating weather forecasts digitally on the web page and...

Several changes have been made in Norway over the last five years. The warnings are now issued in both Norwegian and English, and include color/warning level, advises, expected impacts, illustrations and probability information. The CAP format is used and warning dissemination is also made available through a broader range of media and specifically...

Naturfarevarsling i Norge utføres av NVE og Meteorologisk institutt. Farevarslingen har vært gjennom en stor utvikling de siste årene, fra å si noe om hvilket vær som ventes, til å ha sterkere fokus på at konsekvensene av været skal forstås av brukeren. Fremover er det fokus på at informasjon skal kunne brukes til å ta beslutninger. Det er altså ik...

One major task of the National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHS) is the provision of consistent and integrated forecasting products from minutes to several days ahead (seamless forecasting). The former EUMETNET (European Meteorological Services' Network) project ASIST (Application oriented analysis and very short-range forecast enviro...

At MET Norway, a small interdisciplinary team - the Sandbox - explores novel ways to improve the communication between the meteorologists and their audiences. At the moment the Sandbox consists of seven forecasters, researchers, and communication advisors with backgrounds from both natural and social sciences. Over the past six years, this has been...

Risk management for wind farms has become more standardized in terms of calculating acceptable risk criteria, but so far the communication of possible risks and their consequences for societal actors has not evolved into a validated set of best practices. The current state of knowledge about best practices for ice throw/fall risk communication is s...

At MET Norway, a small interdisciplinary team - the Sandbox - spends part of their working hours trying to improve the communication between the meteorologists and their audience. In this article we invite the reader to join us on a journey along the Sandbox process during 2021. The focus of our work that year was on the communication of forecast u...

Abstract Although European studies have become more common in recent years, published research on perception and use of weather information has been dominated by studies from the United States with some scattered contributions across Europe. The present study gives a broad European context, by providing perspectives from 18 countries and several us...

The European Meteorological Services’ Network (EUMETNET) Nowcasting Programme (E-NWC), published one survey for the participating National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs) in 2019, and another survey for their respective users. Although inspired by previous studies, a broader European context was ensured by providing perspectives fr...

This report is written as part of Work Package 4 in the project Wind Energy in Icing Climates. The aim of this report is to address some key challenges in the current ways ice-throw/fall hazards are communicated about and how this communication can be improved in Norwegian wind turbine parks, especially when aiming to inform (potential) non-expert...

The Norwegian Meteorological institute User surveys indicate that the Norwegian Meteorological Institute (MET Norway) enjoys a very high level of trust in the Norwegian population, being the state agency with the best reputation in Norway 15 years in a row. In our latest annual polling close to 85 percent say they have a high degree of trust in our...

Climate change ought to be a natural part of the weather conversation on TV, radio and social media. Inspired by similar projects in other countries, the Norwegian Meteorological institute established a project in 2019 to develop their TV meteorologists as climate change communicators. The main objective in the project was to integrate research-bas...

Worldwide, about 80 percent of national hydrological and meteorological services are separated in two agencies. In Norway, the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate (NVE) is responsible for avalanche, landslide and flood warnings, whereas the Norwegian Meteorological Institute (MET Norway) is responsible for severe weather warnings. Even...

Like most National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs), MET Norway is primarily known for forecasting the weather. Still, there is also a high degree of trust among the public in our climate research and in our TV meteorologists as climate change communicators. The TV meteorologists are experienced science communicators, speak a langua...

Recognition is growing that valuable weather, water, ice and climate (WWIC) services for marine, Arctic environments can only be produced in close dialogue with its actual users. This denotes an acknowledgement that knowing how users incorporate WWIC information in their activities should be considered throughout the information value chain. Notion...

Abstract: National meteorological institutes have since their establishment been in front using new technologies, such as the telegraph, radio, TV, websites and social media, to disseminate weather forecast information. These days you can start accessing weather information on smartwatches and smart speakers. Another growing media is podcasts. One...

Strengthening weather services with open weather data and public digital goods. Reliable, usable, understandable and accessible weather forecasts are of great importance for emergency preparedness, planning and efficient use of resources in a number of sectors. However, individuals and organisations in many developing countries currently have poor...

Is fine weather actually fine weather to everyone? Professional end–users are likely to benefit from the use of technical language when discussing meteorology, whereas non–experts are likely to find everyday language more suited to their needs. To reduce the number of possible interpretations of everyday language when used to describe weather, its...

This paper explores the changing infrastructure around weather and sea ice information provisioning for Arctic marine areas. Traditionally, the most important providers of operational information on sea ice and weather conditions are the national sea ice and meteorological services. More recently, the community of Arctic information providers has b...

SALIENSEAS brings together a team of social and natural scientists, metocean service personnel, and end-users, with the aim to 1). Better understand the mobility patterns, constraints, challenges, decision-making contexts and information needs of end-users in different European Arctic marine sectors; 2). Develop and apply participatory tools for co...

This exploratory study examined 16 participants’ reasons for relating representations when reading online information that presented weather forecasts comprising a variety of representations. They were told to advise a friend, who was planning to paint the exterior of his house, based on the online information. The participants’ multimodal reading...

Many people use weather reports to plan their activities. Previous studies on this type of decision-making have been concerned primarily with the use of selected pieces of information detached from the context of a full weather report. Therefore, this study contains two areas of focus: (1) factors influencing the amount of information from a full w...

Many people depend on and use weather forecasts to plan their schedules. In so doing, ordinary people with no expertise in meteorology are frequently called upon to interpret uncertainty with respect to weather forecasts. With this in mind, this study addresses two main questions: 1) How do laypeople interpret online weather reports with respect to...

Data series for bud burst, beginning of flowering and petal fall for 20 species of deciduous trees and conifers at four sites in different regions of southern Norway have been analysed and related to temperature series. On average, the spring phenophases occurred 7 days earlier during the period 1971-2005. The most significant linear trends were ob...
