are largest. Positive sensible heat fluxes also occur over
the interior regions of Vatnajökull and Hofsjökull at around noon on 27 July, due to the cold
northeasterly flow over the glaciers (see Figure 10). However, along the edges and on the other
icecaps, sensible heat fluxes under clear skies are directed from the atmosphere to the snow. On 3

Ten or more people reported killed; (2) Hundred people reported

is to
properly handle furniture and other interior objects so that they do not fall
off in the event of an earthquake. The effects of an earthquake on the
Reykjanes Peninsula, can be felt in a large area, and the capital area is not
excluded.The Scientific Advisory Board, therefore, encourages
people to check with their home and workplaces and fix unstable hanging
objects. Information on earthquake

During summertime tourists should bring a windbreaker, rainwear, a thick pullover (wool or fleece) and sturdy walking shoes. Travellers who are camping or heading into the interior will need warm underwear and socks, rubber boots and a warm sleeping bag.
During wintertime tourist should bring warm clothing, warm

During wintertime tourist should bring warm clothing, warm coat, mittens etc. Iceland has many swimming pools, usually with geothermally heated water. Hence, in either season a visitor should bring a swim suit

warming towards the northeast. The warming from
1961–90 to 2070–99 on an annual basis was about 1 K in the southwest of Iceland, but reached
2–3 K in the interior and on the east coast. Of the two emission scenarios used (A2 and B2), the
higher emitting one (A2) produced slightly more warming, but a very similar spatial structure. The
HIRHAM results also showed an increase in precipitation, with more

hand, models require quantitative information on a wealth of
parameters that is often difficult to extract from storylines. In other
words, there is a mismatch between storylines and model
parameters (Steps 3–4 in Fig. 1), as well as between model output
and revised stories (Steps 5–6). In practice, particularly the

York collaborated in installing a seismograph network throughout Iceland, including a network of five seismographs in the interior of the country. During the same period the number of stations in the IMO network increased markedly.
A new era of seismic monitoring began in Iceland in 1991, when a digital seismic system, the SIL system, was upgraded to fully automatic operation. It was designed
