Melting of Iceland’s glaciers could raise sea levels by a centimeter, [28] which could lead to erosion and flooding worldwide. [29] Locally, glacial recession could cause crustal uplift, [28] which could disrupt buildings. Some places in Iceland have already seen the crust rise at a rate of 40 millimeters per year. [28]
Vatnsskarð weather station, Skagafjörður, Iceland IMO quake map and diagram re. 2010 eruptions of Eyjafjallajökull. Icelandic Meteorological Office (IMO; Icelandic: Veðurstofa Íslands) is Iceland's national weather service and as such a government agency under the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources. [1]
Cloud cover values only vary by 3% from year-to-year averages, whereas the local, day-to-day variability in cloud amounts typically rises to 30% over the globe. Land is generally covered by 10-15% less cloud than the oceans, because the seas are covered with water, allowing for more evaporation .
They forecast the cloud cover, transparency and astronomical seeing, parameters which are not forecast by civil or aviation forecasts. [1] They forecast hourly data, but are limited to forecasting at most 48 hours into the future. Each individual chart provides data for only a 9 mile radius, and so are essentially point forecasts.
Cloud cover forecasts will also be important for locations outside the path of totality, given that at least 99% of the contiguous U.S. will get to experience at least a partial eclipse.
The Met Office has said it is monitoring a cloud of sulphur dioxide which passed over the UK after a volcanic eruption in Iceland. The “plume” of gas is understood to have begun passing over ...
Much of Texas, considered prime eclipse-viewing territory by many traveling there for the occasion, was predicted in forecast models on Friday to have cloud cover of 60%-80% on eclipse day.
Polar stratospheric clouds over Western Norway. The stratosphere is very dry; unlike the troposphere, it rarely allows clouds to form.In the extreme cold of the polar winter, however, stratospheric clouds of different types may form, which are classified according to their physical state (super-cooled liquid or ice) and chemical composition.
