Warning against increased risk
25.9.2015
A low is approaching Iceland Saturday morning and high precipitation levels are forecast until early Sunday morning for much of S- and W-Iceland.
Heavy rainfall is expected in the southeastern part of the country, leading

was well within the median and closest to shore, about 50n.m. NW off Straumsnes and 60n.m. W off Barði. The ice-edge density was extensively 4/10 or less than 7-9/10 north off 67°20'N. A considerable diagenis was discovered in the southernmost part of the exploratory territory.
No other dispatches were made during the month.
Easterly and later northeasterly winds were common in the Greenland

was seen just within the jurisdiction of Greenland. No large floes were seen on radar beyond the ice edge.
No observations were received from ships but 3rd April one observation was received from land, reporting an ice berg in location 65°42' N 32°07'W.
On the Greenland Straight easterlies were predominant but occasionally strong southwesterly wind prevailed for a few days

series analysis
Regional series are compiled based on regions
having similar climatological characteristics and
streamflow regimes. These series are also useful
for evaluating patterns and trends, both in time and
by region. Regional series for precipitation,
temperature and runoff are being compiled,
updated and analysed within the CES project.

the principalmethods have not changed much over the years, theamount of field work has varied. In the first 15 yearsthe monitoring programme at Storbreen was com-prehensive, often three or more snow density pits
were dug, snow depth was measured at about 600points and ablation was measured on 30 stakes
evenly distri uted on the glacier (Liestøl 1967).Based on experience of the snow pattern, the ob-

level, surveys commissioned by the European Com-
munity/the European Union provide an indication of trends in concern about cli-
mate change. Since 1992, such surveys have been undertaken among representative
samples of citizens in its Member States, and specifically on topics related to the
environment (Special Eurobarometers (EB) in 1992, 1995, 2002; and a Flash EB
in 2002). These have included

with 20% and 2% for the HIRHAM experiments
using HadAM3H and with 30% and 7% for the ECHAM-
driven experiments for Middle Europe and Scandinavia,
respectively.
[18] RCM output is not available for the entire period
1961–2100 because transient RCM simulations are com-
putationally very demanding. Instead two 30-year time
slices are available; one representative for the climate in
the period 1961–1990

were carried out to obtain the flow and
sliding parameters for Hoffellsjökull that resulted in a good
simulation of the observed 20th century evolution of the
glacier geometry. The obtained values for the rate factor
and the sliding parameter are A= 4.6× 10−15 s−1 kPa−3 and
C = 10× 10−15 m a−1 Pa−3, respectively.
