This satellite image is from TERRA and it shows Iceland covered by snow at one o'clock today.
Terra is one of NASA's satellites. It orbits the Earth every 100 minutes at 700 km altitude. Twice daily, the path of the satellite is aligned over Iceland

annual temperature varied from 5 C
to 2 C and precipitation from 450 mm to 700 mm (Drebs et al.,
2002). Finland is a long country and the temperature gradient is
strong especially in winter (Fig. 1a), which affects the accumula-
tion and melting of snow.
In south-western Finland the thermal winter lasts on average
for 100 days whereas in northern Finland this season is about
100 days longer

personal sensor was measuring values higher than 45 ppm (the sensor saturated).

increased net precipitation and increased rainfall intensity put pressure on the sewage
system and the lake dam. Flooding of the town is expected to occur more frequently. Future flooding
storms could be as high as 2,5 meters.
The challenges have been divided into two main themes: sea level change and rainfall.

fiord area. Adaptive challenges due to changes in regional groundwater level
An increase in sea level will cause more frequent flooding in the town due to its low lying position by
the fjord. In 2006, the local town hall was flooded when sea level rose to 1.76 m above normal.
Simultaneously, increased net precipitation and increased rainfall intensity put pressure on the sewage
system

and March 2014. The maximum discharge of the flood is therefore expected to be less than 700 cubic metres per second, occurring towards the middle of the week.
Potentially hazardous levels of hydrogen sulphide gas could be present at the location where floodwater bursts from Skeiðarárjökull. In the immediate vicinity of the outlet, gas concentrations could be high enough to cause respiratory problems
