Assessment Re-
port (AR4).
Topic 1 summarises observed changes in climate and their ef-
fects on natural and human systems, regardless of their causes, while
Topic 2 assesses the causes of the observed changes. Topic 3 pre-
sents projections of future climate change and related impacts un-
der different scenarios.
Topic 4 discusses adaptation and mitigation options over the
next few decades

In Chapter 3 we focus on the following monthly averages: Near-surface 2 meter temperature
(TAS), total precipitation (TP), and sea ice cover (SI). In Chapter 4 we add surface air
pressure (PSL) and snow cover thickness (SNCT). The following daily fields will be studied
as well: Near-surface wind speeds, (U and V sfcWind), maximum near-surface 2 meter
temperature (TASMAX), minimum mean-surface 2 meter/media/vedurstofan-utgafa-2017/VI_2017_009.pdf

Air quality in urban areas in the East of Iceland:
High air pollution was detected yesterday in Mývatnssveit. The highest peak was
measured 1250 micrograms per cubic meter. The area likely affected by air pollution
from the eruptoin is now marked by Bárðardalur to the west to
Hólasandur/Merlakkaslétta platou in the east. This evening the affected area

meter stations, two fixed position weather radars
and two mobile ones which are intended to monitor
volcanic plumes. IMO operates over automatic
snow depth sensors and conducts manned monitor-
ing of snow-pack conditions, glacial margins and
rivers; two stations are devoted to environmental
monitoring. Many of these monitoring systems are
operated in collaboration with other institutes
