1 Introduction
In the spring of 2013, the Icelandic Meteorological Office (IMO) started a reanalysis project,
using the HARMONIE numerical weather prediction model. Operationally, this model has been
in use at IMO since the autumn of 2011, and has proven

climate change on the occurrence of floods should be taken into ac-

for general evaluations of changes of flood discharges, flood inun-

Abstract. The Little Ice Age maximum extent of glaciers in
Iceland was reached about 1890 AD and most glaciers in the
country have retreated during the 20th century. A model for

ABSTRACT. Measurements of winter balance (bw

by ice lifting and deformation induced by subglacial water pressures higher than ice
overburden pressure.
The discharge data and the derived size of the subglacial flood path, as indicated
by the volume of water stored subglacially, indicates a development towards more
efficient subglacial flow over the course of the jökulhlaup. Thus, a discharge in the

strong incentives to enter the EU community and thus the
EU acquis communautaire is used as key reference for the
development of its water management principles. It was
