Weather observations are made to acquire information about the state of the atmosphere. The following factors are the most important observations, and they are relatively easy to measure:
Temperature
Air pressure
Wind at the Earth’s surface
These factors are either measured with automatic meters or a weather observer reads the meters or evaluates the observation in some way

No continuous harmonic tremor is detected. Low-frequency tremor is seen at the stations closest to
the fissure, most likely due to the strong wind conditions.
Earthquakes
More than 600 earthquakes were detected in the area and smaller than before. The two strongest

by the Climate Modelling and Scenarios group of CES. A link to
the European ENSEMBLES project is established via the Rossby Centre of SMHI. The climate scenarios
are processed through hydrological models to arrive at simulations of changes of river flow or inflow to
the reservoirs of the hydropower system in a changing climate. The use of a matrix of several climate
scenarios makes it possible to carry out
