a systematic com-
parison of results to observed precipitation has been carried out. Un-
dercatchment of solid precipitation is dealt with by looking only at
days when precipitation is presumably liquid or by considering the
occurrence and non-occurrence of precipitation. Away from non-
resolved orography, the long term means (months, years) of observed
and simulated precipitation are often

isobars signify the air pressure, in millibars, at the ocean surface (1 mb = 1 hPa).
The red, purple and blue isotherms show the temperature at 2 m above the ocean surface. A blue line denotes sub-freezing conditions; a purple line denotes 0°C and; a red line denotes temperatures above freezing.
Wind speed is displayed in metres per second (m/s).
The angle of the wind barb is indicative

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
