in a session titled: Defining a road map for Arctic observing, organized by the SAON collaboration ( Sustaining Arctic Ocean Networks ). Dr. Snorrason's lecture focussed on the contributions of national hydrological and meteorological institutes to Arctic observations. He also described a new monitoring program operated by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), The Global Cryosphere Watch (GCW

Baugur and two of his babies are still active. And yet, its force is considerably less today than yesterday. There is one fountain to speak of and it only reaches about 20 til 50 m over the crater's rims. Possibly this explains the low layout of the plume today, perhaps there isn't enough heat convection

related the degree of

using two aquifers, an upper shallow one
describing the hydrological properties of the soil and sediments, and a lower deeper aquifer
describing the properties of the bedrock. When running WaSiM with this setup, water
emerged from the upper aquifer when the lower one was not full, even though the upper
aquifer was empty. When this was clear, the author of WaSiM, Dr. Jörg Schulla, was
