SMHI hosts the BALTEX Data Centre for hydrology with the main objective to collect, store and distribute hydrological data, and information, from the BALTEX region to the BALTEX scientific community. 

Runoff data from dense networks in four specific basins shall be collected. These special basins are: Torne, Neva, Daugava, and Odra. For the other catchments in the Baltic basin, runoff data shall be collected from a less dense network. 

For climatological studies a few very long runoff records shall be collected by the BALTEX HDC.

Other hydrological data that will be collected are: snow equivalent of water, soil moisture, information on ground water, ice observations, lake levels, lake and river temperature. These data will be collected from the contributing national institutes as available.
