BALTEX Science Steering Group (BSSG)
BALTEX is led and managed by the BALTEX Science Steering Group. The steering group has the responsibility to organize and maintain the programme efficiently and in accordance with the general structures of GEWEX and other projects within the WCRP and ESSP.
Former BSSG chairs Lennart Bengtsson (left) and Hartmut Graßl (centre right) met new BSSG chair Joakim Langner (right)
and BSSG member Mikko Alestalo (centre left) at the BALTEX-BACC Conference in Göteborg, May 2006
SInce its foundation in 1994, 48 scientists have served as members of the BALTEX SSG, including its former chairs and co-chairs L. Bengtsson, H. Graßl, E. Raschke and Z. Kaczmarek. For a list of former BSSG members click here.
