in the north and Reykjavík in the southwest reveals some inter-station differences.
The first cold interval, the "ice years", was the coldest of the three in the north and east, but the 1979 to 1986 was the coldest in southwestern Iceland. Figure 2 highlights this by expressing the variability as 7-year running means of temperature. We see the end of the warm period in 1965 and three cold sub

Field Data
• An estimate of the peak winds for each
home is provided
• This estimate is divided into 5 categories:
– Less than 120 mph
– 120-129 mph
– 130-139 mph
– 140-149 mph
– Greater than 149 mph
Year Built Categories
• Using the homes year of construction a
series of 4 categories were derived to
evaluate the impact of prevailing
construction practices and building codes.

Abstract.
We assess the mean mass balance of three ice caps in South Iceland, for two periods, 1980
to 1998 and 1998 to 2004, by comparing digital elevation models (DEMs) covering the entire
glaciers; Eyjafjallajökull (81 km2), Tindfjallajökull (15 km2) and Torfajökull (14 km2). The
DEMs were
