Bárðarbunga: 07.09.2014, 13:20 UTC
Scientists from the Icelandic Met Office and the Institute of Earth Sciences and representatives of
the Civil Protection in Iceland attend the meetings of the Scientific Advisory Board of the Icelandic
Civil Protection.
Conclusions of the Scientific Advisory Board of the Icelandic Civil
Protection:
The eruptive activity at Holuhraun has
/media/jar/Factsheet-Bardarbunga-140907.pdf
in urban areas in East of Iceland:
o Concentrations of SO2, comparable to those measured in the last few days,
could increase slightly today in the east due to the direction of the wind.
Efforts to increase gas monitoring in inhabited areas are ongoing. Data from
The Environmental Agency SO2 monitoring stations in Reyjahlíð, Egilsstaðir
and Reyðarfjörður are accessible on the web-site

Scientists flying over the Bárðarbunga area yesterday reported no new changes in
the surface.
Air quality in urban areas in the East of Iceland:
o Forecasts indicate that high concentrations of sulphuric gases may be
expected in the northern part of the Eastern fjords, Fljótsdalur, Hérað,
Jökuldalur, and Vopnafjörður. Forecast indicates that concentration may
become highest in Hérað later

more to
the east from Mývatn-area in the west to Vopnafjordur bay in the east. Tomorrow
lighter westerly winds are expected and likely effected area will be from
Vopnafjörður bay, and south towards Djúpivogur.
Instructions:
o People who feel discomfort are advised to stay indoors, close their windows,
turn up the heat and turn off air conditioning. Use periods of good air quality

and
how future climate change within the next 20–30 years can impact these resources.
In the future, an increase in the utilization of various sources of bioenergy will increase in Nordic
countries. This raises a question what is the biomass production potential of forests now and in the
future and how sustainable the energy production based on biomass are owing to possible large-scale
harvestings

and insignificant
crustal movements north of Vatnajökull around the dyke.
Air quality in urban areas in the East of Iceland:
o High air pollution was detected yesterday in Egilsstaðir and Reyðarfjörður.
Forecasts indicate that the gas cloud will blow towards the north in the next
24 hours. High concentrations of sulphuric gases can be expected in
Mývatnssveit, Kelduhverfi, Tjörnes, Húsavík

EA Analyse A/S and Optensys
Energianalys will forecast energy system variables, while SINTEF Energy Research will make
assumptions for the energy system in different cases, include new inputs in the EMPS model and
carry out simulations.

on the costs of
weather related delays and interruptions. Leviäkangas (2007) mentions an amount of 20 ~ 30
million euro per year. As mentioned before over time road users will start to adapt if they realize
that certain delays occur too frequently. Responses could vary from shifts in departure time to
switching to another mode or even relocation of activities.
