Meteorological Office has been a partner of IICWG since its foundation in 1999 and welcomes this opportunity to acknowledge the partnership.
The goal of IICWG, which was formed in in October 1999, is to promote cooperation between the world's ice centers on all matters concerning sea ice and icebergs

Comparable digital elevation models of glaciers in Iceland have hitherto not been available. The new models will serve as a baseline for comparison with all other measurement, past and future. With repeated measurements it is possible

monitoring to develop more accurate forecasts of hazardous events. IMO has
participated in several European and Nordic funded research projects, having
the role of lead partner in many of them.

An extensive grass fire was raging for a few days in the west, starting on 30 March. This grass
fire is the largest known in Iceland, about 67 sq kilometers (6700 hectares) were burned. The
squads fighting the fire managed to shield all farmhouses in the very sparsely populated area.
The area will presumably recover in a few years as there is no forest there.

Then this information is used to
assess increased flood risk in the stormwater system in downtown Reykjavík using Mike Urban program.
The only precipitation record with sufficient length and resolution in Reykjavík is from the Icelandic
Meteorological Office. From 1951 to 1999, the data was recorded on paper, but a digital gauge was then
installed. Three methods have been used to detect changes
