in a project sponsored by the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey. The aim of this project was to set up an international seismic network, and in 1964 a station was installed in Akureyri as part of the World Wide Standardized Seismograph Network.
From 1925 to 1964, IMO was the only institute in Iceland monitoring seismicity. In 1964, the Science Institute of the University of Iceland installed a seismograph

data from the host model is blended with the high-resolution data within the dependent model
domain. At the upper boundary, defined as the 10-hPa isobaric surface, vertical velocity is set to
zero.
The model is run in upper-air and surface data assimilation mode. The atmospheric analysis

climate that was much milder than its position on the globe might suggest. In
data from 1981–2010, Iceland annual average temperatures ranged from 6°C at the
south coast to 3°C at the north coast, with a substantially colder highland
interior. In comparison with the latitudinal average for the same period, the
coastal temperatures in Iceland are 8–10°C warmer

century (Þórarinsson, 1939, 1974). In the beginning of the twentieth century there were
about ten years between outbursts but the floods diminished with time and became
more frequent. After a catastrophic, rapidly rising flood caused

properly handle furniture and other interior objects so that they do not fall
off in the event of an earthquake. The effects of an earthquake on the
Reykjanes Peninsula, can be felt in a large area, and the capital area is not
excluded.The Scientific Advisory Board, therefore, encourages
people to check with their home and workplaces and fix unstable hanging
objects. Information on earthquake
