intern Aldís Elfarsdóttir contributed to the evaluation of candidate
stations and global participation in the CryoNet, glacier best practices, and
the compilation of scientific literature on observations of permafrost,
freshwater ice, and ice sheets. These tasks took place in collaboration with
GCW Project Manager, Rodica Nitu, GCW Website and Outreach Team Lead, Jeff Key,

met on the 17 of October with colleagues from the Institute of Earth Sciences of the
University of Iceland and representatives of the Civil Protection Department of the National Police.
The purpose of the meeting was to review all the available monitoring

more dependable as they draw closer to events. With new information forecasts will be updated on IMO's website.
Please note, that if the models on the webpage and the text forecasts differ, the text forecasts are valid.
After a rather mild and calm November there is now a shift in the weather patterns around Iceland, and forecasts indicate rather unrestful weather for the next week.

eruption can be estimated from satellite informationTo assess the power of the eruption, it is also
possible to use information from satellites that detect heat radiated from the Earth's
surface. Such measurements can be seen, for example, on the website of the
MIROVA project (Middle InfraRed Observation of Volcanic Activity

An ice edge was observed in the area from 67°31'N and 023°35'W to 66°41'N and 23°43'W. Westerlies were a little more prevailing in the Greenland Strait and north of Iceland than on average

eruptions have occurred in Grímsvötn and the surrounding area
in the last 200 years. The last eruption in Grímsvötn was in 2011 and it was
quite large and powerful, but otherwise the last few eruptions have been rather
small and lasted for a few days. More information about the volcano can be
found at the Icelandic volcanoes website, https://icelandicvolcanoes.is

It is important to describe the surface, and its properties, as well as possible. To do this SURFEX uses elevation data (from the GTOPO3 database of USGS), data on sand- and clay fraction in soil (from the HWSD database of FAO) and data on land surface parameters (from the ECOCLIMAP-II).
