The group should imagine itself as a policy agency responsible for designing a long term (20 years) planning
process that should enable the society to cope with the climate change effects and its uncertainties and
develop a climate change adaptation strategy.
We will form two groups with slightly different topics as described in the terms of references below. Each
group should have 3-4

The
role of orography was found to be crucial in determining the precipitation dis-
tribution and amount.
Atmospheric flow over Iceland was simulated for the period January 1961
through June 2006 using version 3–7–3 of the PSU/NCAR MM5 mesoscale
model (Grell et al., 1995). The domain used is 123× 95 points, centered at
64◦ N and 19.5◦ W, with a horizontal resolution of 8 km. There are 23 vertical

adaptation issues and
uncertainties with a focus on issues requiring a planning horizon of more than 20 years,
when a climate change signal could begin to dominate the natural climate variability, and
where a relatively long economic lifetime of adaptation projects makes it important to give
careful consideration to uncertainty. In Tables 2, 3, 4 and 5, climate change impacts are
characterised
