NORTHERLY WINDSTORMS IN ICELAND
Abstract: The dynamics and frequency of northerly windstorms over Iceland in current and possible future climate are discussed. These storms are relatively frequent in Iceland in the spring and in the autumn and they are also frequent during periods when there is much sea ice in the waters to the ea...

These storms are relatively frequent in Iceland in the spring and in the autumn and they are also frequent during periods when there is much sea ice in the waters to the east of Greenland.

The spring-time northerly windstorms coincide with the period of maximum extent of the sea-ice north of Iceland and the frequency of these windstorms is reduced dramatically in a simulation of future climate. The windstorms are discussed in relation to blocking of cold airmasses at the east coast of Greenland.
