- this is different from “No Information” which indicates that nothing at all is known
about the area.
5) No specific colour is assigned to areas of “No Information”; such areas should be clearly
indicated on ice charts - text annotation may be used where appropriate; an assigned
colour within the code should not be used to indicate “No Information”.
6) Colour codes do not preclude use of black

values. For Part 2, data files describing the local wind statistics on the regular model
grid covering Iceland are made available through an online wind atlas (follow the link from

) per year. Barbara Barzycka from the Polish Centre
for Polar Studies, University of Katowice, discussed the mass balance of
glaciers in Svalbard, where the rate of warming exceeds many other parts of the
world. The mean annual temperature in the archipelago has risen by 3–5°C in the
period 1971–2018 and the estimated annual mass loss from glaciers in Svalbard
during 2006–2015 is 9 GT/year

measures for water related sectors
in Denmark
The key uncertainties related to climate change adaptation in a Danish context are illustrated
by examples from the water-related sectors agriculture, freshwater ecology, water infra-
structures in rural areas and urban water infrastructures (Tables 2, 3, 4 and 5). The examples
have been selected to illustrate the variety of the climate change
