BALTEX (the Baltic Sea Experiment) was launched in 1992 as a Continental-scale Experiment (CSE) of the Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment (GEWEX) within the World Climate Research Program (WCRP).
The research focus of BALTEX has primarily been on the hydrological cycle and the exchange of energy between the atmosphere and the surface of the Earth, because they control and regulate the climate in a fundamental manner. BALTEX Phase II extends the scope of research to regional climate change, water management and air and water quality. The study region of BALTEX is the Baltic Sea and its huge catchment region, which constitutes a unique European water basin, creating specific demands on models and scientific concepts.
