of the results will be finished before the end of 2013. Accurate elevation models based on these measurements will be available from Vatnajökull, Hofsjökull, Langjökull, Eiríksjökull, Snæfellsjökull, Mýrdalsjökull, Eyjafjallajökull, Drangajökull, Tungnafellsjökull and several other smaller glaciers.
A total of 11,000 km² glaciers have been mapped in this effort, but the total measured area exceeds 15,000

bridges, and culverts. This dependency necessities a new analysis of precipitation extremes and
a reassessment of precipitation return periods. The modern-day availability of high temporal
frequency precipitation measurements, i.e. down to 10 minutes, at various locations around the
country enables testing and refinement of the original 1M5 model. Moreover, there have been
major advances

Ocean water density alters due to changes in temperature or salinity. These variations affect the

ocean volume and result in steric height changes. Since the total salt load is relatively constant on
a global scale, the steric changes are dominated by the temperature effect
