Freja is used by the research division of SMHI, primarily for applications in climate, meteorology and oceanography. In the climate area, SMHI collaborates with European partners in the development, analysis and use of both global and regional climate models, and with impact studies in the fields of oceanography, hydrology and air quality.
Access to Freja is granted by SMHI.
