Standard deviation of monthly mean Ta are in reasonable agreement to the observations except
for summer and autumn on the ice sheet where the model underestimates (Fig. 4c and d).
5.2 Global Radiation
Measurements of global radiation are only available from the stations Swiss Camp and Crawford
on the ice sheet for a limited time period (1995–2006), including a number of data gaps

and glaciers. The former trend is mainly visible in the
Westfjords, an area in northwest Iceland, in the winter (see Figure 8a and 8b) and in northeast
Iceland in the summer, especially east of Akureyri in the RCP8.5 scenario (see Figures 8c
and d). The latter trend is most clearly seen during summer and in cases with the RCM RCA4
with RCP8.5.
