Exploratory and normative scenario developers both have acknowledged the added
value of either type of scenario process. Particularly the backcasting community has attempted to combine backcasting and
foresighting approaches. Good examples are Robinson et al. [10], Carlsson-Kanyama et al. [11], and the work of David Banister (e.g.
[12]). In this paper we describe an attempt from the community

the variations in the seasonal componentsof the mass balance;
– use the model to reconstruct the mass balanceprior to 1949;
– study the sensitivity of the model to differentmodel set ups and choices of parameters;
– and study the climate sensitivity of the glacierand implications of climate change on the massbalance.

Information on land use, soil type, elevation and other general properties of the watershed
are given in static distributed grids while a number of parameters describing specific
processes are adjusted to the properties of each watershed by comparison of modelled and
measured discharge series.

• Paradigm level: e.g. long term evolution in societal value
systems and prioritization structures
• scenario choices; delineation; (model type choice)
• Conceptual level: understanding of the causal structure
• Model (type) choice; model structure; data sources/needs
• Model level: sufficiently adequate representation of the causal
structure and orders

The map shows the location of the damaging earthquake that struck yesterday afternoon. Most movement took place along the fault shown in green.

From the recorded data we obtained nearly 120 FPS of the earthquakes and assigned them with the
quality factors. We grouped the earthquakes into several groups according to their geographical
locations, and investigated the obtained results in each group separately. The overall results in the study
area show the dominating normal type of faulting and the N-S

The first map shows cloud cover measurements at a few stations in Iceland, along with information about cloud type and lowest cloud altitude (see following diagram). This information can be useful in evaluating the quality of the forecast.
Cloud cover observations are made every three hours at a few stations in Iceland. The latest observation is shown
