In the relative sense, largest changes occur in winter in central Scandinavia and southern
Finland, where more than 5% of incident radiation would be lost (Fig. 3(a)). According
to the t test, the signal is statistically significant at the 1% level. Over the Barents Sea,
the decline is even larger

of large natural events in
the 1960s and early 1970s showed that this line of thought was at the best wrong, but possibly
also dangerous. Since then the need for natural hazard management in the broad sense has
become more and more obvious in Iceland. The assessment of Icelandic natural hazards fit
very well into the frame proposed by the WMO at the end of the International Decade for
