Abstract

(1 Numerical Studies of the Energy and Water Cycle of the BALTIC Region) stands for two international projects funded by the European Community in the years 1996–2000. The campaign was embedded into the continental-scale experiment BALTEX2(2 Baltic Sea Experiment), a subproject of GEWEX3(3 Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment) (Raschke, 1994; Bengtsson, 1995). The present special issue emerged from two NEWBALTIC progress meetings held in Sweden: One in June 1999 in Abisko and one in January 2000 at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg. The NEWBALTIC community welcomed the suggestion of Professor Bengtsson, Chairman of the BALTEX Science Steering Group, to present selected contributions of the considerable body of NEWBALTIC results in a special MAP4(4 Meterology and Atmospheric Physics) issue. This collection, it was agreed, might serve as an example for the current state of modelling hydro-meteorological key processes on the continental scale of the Baltic Sea and its environment (see also Raschke et al., 1998, 2001). All papers submitted went through the review process regularly applied by MAP.
