coast, wind forcing is the primary
driver of sea level extremes but less so for the Kattegat/Skagerak region than for the Baltic (M.
Hieronymus, J. Hieronymus, and Arneborg, 2017). Like in Norway, atmospheric pressure is the
most influential contributor to mean sea level changes on timescales up to a few years in the UK
but steric changes dominate on decadal timescales (Dangendorf, Calafat, et al

the maximum discharge of jökulhlaup water at the glacier
terminus is estimated as 97 m3 s 1. This jökulhlaup was a fast-rising jökulhlaup as
other jökulhlaups in Skaftá and cannot be described by the traditional Nye-theory of
jökulhlaups. The total volume of flood water was estimated as 53 Gl. The average
propagation speed of the subglacial jökulhlaup flood front was found to be in the range
0.2–0.4 m s 1

in an overall
cold bias, compared with station measurements. To test, whether this is due to the HARMONIE
model core or the external surface scheme, biases of 2-m temperature from SURFEX are com-
pared with biases of temperature projected from the lowest two model levels to 2 mAGL. It is
found that the negative temperature biases are due to shallow inversion layers near the ground,
