Figure 1. The partly ice-covered Bárðarbunga volcanic system (inset, green), central volcano is indicated by
capital B. Holocene lava flows from the ice-free parts of the volcanic system are shown in green, areas of thick
tephra deposits are ruled. Modified after Jóhannesson and Sæmundsson (1998). No discrimination is made
between lava flows of different age. In southern Iceland the area

to a slight inaccuracy in the calculations. The figure on the right loosely shows the relationship between m/s and a few Beaufort-values.
The prerequisites of the calculations above are:
The equation: W = 0.836B3/2 where W is windspeed in m/s and B is value on the Beaufort-scale.
1 m/s = 3.6 km/h = 1.944 knots (2.237 miles per hour)
