TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS IN ICELAND AND THE EASTERN NORTH-ATLANTIC REGION, BASED ON OB SERVATION S 1901-1990 MARKÚS Á. EINARSSON f Icelandic Meteorological Office Bústaðavegi 9, 150 Reykjavík, Iceland ABSTRACT Monthly and annual temperatures for the period 1901-1990 were collectedfor 23 weather stations, i.e. 7 Icelandic stations, 6 stations surrounding the coasts of Greenland, 5 stations along the coast ofW-Norway, besides 5 island stationsfrom the Faeroe Islands along the Norwegian Sea to Svalbard. Temperature condi- tions in Iceland relate closely to a region that extends about halfway towards both the coast of W-Norway and Jan Mayen, covers the Faeros Islands and ex- tends towards west or southwestfrom Iceland over the GreenlandSea and to SW-Greenland. The coldperiod in the first two decades ofthe century appeared in all parts ofthe North-Atlantic region. INTRODUCTION A number of factors affect temperature conditions in the eastern North-Atlantic region, meteorological as well as geographical. Cyclones pass frequently through this region, usually moving from southwest towards northeast. This can cause sudden temperature changes, or relatively persistent temperature condi- ttons for a long time, depending on the tracks of cy- clones and high pressure systems. Further, a cold high pressure system often persists over the huge glacier of Greenland and a high pressure system over Scandi- navia may also influence weather conditions. t The author passed away on October 20,1994 and was not able to read the proofs of this paper.

Considerable temperature variations have occurred in Iceland during this century (Einarsson, 1991). Most significant are the very cold first two decades, and a sudden warming after 1920, followedby an unusually warm period 1926-1946. JÖKULL, No. 43, 1993 1
