horizontal displacement of the most active part of Þófi since the start of
the measurements is mostly in the range 10–35 cm (maximum 69 cm), whereas the movement
in Neðri-Botnar is slower, with the more active points having total displacement mostly in the
range 5–10 cm (maximum 46 cm). The maximum measured velocity of the horizontal movement
in the Þófi area was 92 cm/a over a two-month period in late

the land are identical. As
discussed previously, the DMI-HIRHAM5 results are suspect with regard to spatial variability of
SAT trends. However, from the other two RCM simulations, relative enhancement of warming
between the surrounding sea area and the Icelandic highlands can be determined. It is found that,
according to the SMHI-RCAO, this enhancement is 24%, and 46% for the MetNo-HIRHAM

activity to the northeast of Iceland. Then, of the total study area, 22% fall into the western sector
(itself broken up into 70% ocean and 30% land), 32% in the central sector (77% ocean, 23%
land), and 46% in the eastern sector (44% ocean, 56% land).
The average seasonal cyclone occurrences over the ocean and land areas in different sectors
