Dataset description

A BARO is a fairly large catchment area that has a comprehensible scope for the viewer and a name that describes the area well. For each BARO area, the sub-basins included have been merged upstream to the exit point of the next BARO area. The divisions have been decided by hydrologists at SMHI so that the BARO division will be relevant for both the general public and for the warning and forecasting service at SMHI. A substantial part of Sweden’s land areas along the coasts are not included in the definition of main river basins, but are located between the outlet points of the main river basins or on islands in the sea. These areas are called coastal areas. The coastal areas have been divided according to sub-basin boundaries along the county boundaries of Sweden and together with BARO they form the whole of Sweden. This product, which is based on version SVAR 2022:1.1, consists of 265 polygons. Delivery description: https://opendata-download.smhi.se/answer/SVAR_Basic products_2022_1_1.pdf

Yes. Selected APIs include a free API quota, so your team can validate coverage, freshness, response shape and workflow fit before asking for a production plan.

Often yes, but usage rights depend on the source license and dataset. We surface source, license and update metadata where available, and can help review terms before a production integration.

Maintained APIs include update metadata where available. For production integrations, we can add history, monitoring and push updates so changes are easier to detect and act on.

Production APIs can add SLA, stable identifiers, versioning support, history, push updates and direct support around the data your product or AI workflow depends on.
