Þekja [layer] j100v_vesturgosbelti_berggrunnur_1utg_li: Línur sýna viss og óviss mörk berggrunns og hraunjaðars ásamt hrauntröðum. [Lines showing certain and uncertain boundaries of bedrock and borders of lava fields, including lava channels.] Mörk tilheyra flákagögnum 'ni_j100v Berggrunnur á Vesturgosbelti – 1:100.000' (þekja j100v_vesturgosbelti_berggrunnur_1utg_fl). Nýr kóði fyrir fitjueigindina 'Jarðmyndun og landmótun lausra jarðefna' (jardmLandmJardefna): hram05 = hrauntröð brún. [Boundaries follow the polygon data 'ni_j100v Berggrunnur á Vesturgosbelti – 1:100.000' (layer j100v_vesturgosbelti_berggrunnur_1utg_fl). New code for feature attribute 'Jarðmyndun og landmótun lausra jarðefna' (jardmLandmJardefna): hram05 = lava channel edge.]

Íslenskur texti er í vinnslu. This raster dataset is a visibility analysis of several wind turbine projects across Iceland which are a part of the fifth phase of the master plan (Rammaáætlun http://www.ramma.is/). The area analysed is a 45 km buffer zone around each wind turbine project. The cutout areas in the 45 km buffer have no visibility due to visual obstruction. The red colour represents high visibility, fading into yellow, with the green colour representing low visibility of the wind turbines. Zones of theoretical visibility have been classified as near (0-2km), intermediate (2-15km) and remote zone (>15km) which are represented in the colour grading. It should be considered that atmospheric conditions, lighting, shading and more affect visibility and detectability. The perception of the wind projects in the green zone will be more fading in the landscape without direct detection, while in the red coloured zone the wind turbine is a prominent element in the landscape. For further information consider reading the respective chapter in the project report or check out further tools like the Ramma 3D map. As a digital elevation model the 10x10 m resolution ÍslandsDEM is used which sets the dataset pixel resolution to 10x10 m. An average viewer height of 1.75 m is assumed, while the wind turbine heights vary between 150 m and 200 m depending on project sites. The maximal height of the wind turbine is considered, meaning to the upper blade tip. See more information in the table on the side. The curvature of the earth is considered in the simulation and a default atmospheric refraction of 0.13 is assumed.

The Corine Land Cover datasets CLC2000, CLC2006and CLC change 2000-2006areproduced within the frame of the GMES land monitoringproject.Corine Land Cover (CLC) provides consistent information on land cover and land cover changes across Europe. This inventory was initiated in 1985 (reference year 1990) and established a time series of land cover information with updates in 2000 and 2006.CLC products are based on photointerpretation of satellite images by national teams of participating countries - the EEA member and cooperating countries – following a standard methodology and nomenclature with the following base parameters: 44 classes in the hierarchical three level Corine nomenclature; minimum mapping unit (MMU) for status layers is 25 hectares; minimum width of linear elements is 100 metres; minimum mapping unit (MMU) for Land Cover Changes (LCC) for the change layers is 5 hectares. The resulting national land cover inventories are further integrated into a seamless land cover map of Europe.Land cover and land use (LCLU) information is important not only for land change research, but also more broadly for the monitoring of environmental change, policy support, the creation of environmental indicators and reporting. CLC datasets provide important datasets supporting the implementation of key priority areas of the Environment Action Programmes of the European Union as protecting ecosystems, halting the loss of biological diversity, tracking the impacts of climate change, assessing developments in agriculture and implementing the EU Water Framework Directive, among others.More about the Corine Land Cover (CLC) and Copernicus land monitoring data in general can be found at http://land.copernicus.eu/.

Þann 16. mars 2011 gáfu Náttúrufræðistofnun út í fyrsta sinn sameiginlegt hæðarkerfi fyrir Ísland. Kerfið er kallað Landshæðarkerfi Íslands og er viðmiðunin ISH2004. Tilkoma sameiginlegs hæðarkerfis markaði stór tímamót í sögu landmælinga á Íslandi. Á sama hátt og viðmiðunin ISN93 skapaði grundvöll fyrir alla til að vinna í sama hnitakerfi mun ISH2004 skapa grundvöll fyrir alla til að vinna í sama hæðarkerfi. Eitt samræmt hæðarkerfi er mikilvægt fyrir ýmsar framkvæmdir s.s. vegagerð og jarðgangnagerð og á ýmsum sviðum umhverfisvöktunar, skipulags og áætlanagerðar. Auk þess munu gögnin nýtast við rannsóknir á jarðskorpuhreyfingum eða breytingum á yfirborði sjávar. Mælingar á Landshæðarkerfinu eru standa ennþá yfir og frá fyrstu útgáfu þess árið 2011 hafa bæst við eftirfarandi línur hallamælilínur. • Flókalundur-Bolungavík • Reykjavík-Keflavík • Endurmæling á Suðurlandi vegna jarðskjálftans 2008 • Hellisheiði • Reykjanesbraut-Grindavík • Þjóðvegur 1-Akranes • Kjölur Niðurstöður nýrra mælinga verður bætt inn í þetta gagnasett um leið og þær liggja fyrir.

The European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT) is an intergovernmental organization founded in 1986, consisting of 30 member states dedicated to the operation of meteorological satellites for monitoring weather, climate, and environmental phenomena. Headquartered in Darmstadt, Germany, EUMETSAT plays a crucial role in providing accurate and timely data and services to meteorological agencies, researchers, and policymakers worldwide. EUMETSAT operates a fleet of geostationary and polar-orbiting satellites equipped with a variety of instruments for observing Earth's atmosphere, oceans, and land surfaces. These satellites capture a wealth of data on weather patterns, atmospheric composition, sea surface temperatures, and other meteorological and environmental parameters. By integrating data from its satellites with ground-based observations and numerical weather prediction models, EUMETSAT produces a wide range of products and services to support weather forecasting, climate monitoring, and environmental analysis. One of EUMETSAT's primary data dissemination channels is its EUMETCast system, a satellite-based data distribution network that delivers real-time and near-real-time satellite data, imagery, and products directly to users' ground receiving stations. Through EUMETCast, meteorological agencies, research institutions, and other users can access a wealth of meteorological and environmental data for use in weather forecasting, climate research, and disaster management applications. In addition to data dissemination, EUMETSAT offers a range of services and products tailored to the needs of its users. These include operational weather forecasting services, such as the Nowcasting SAF (Satellite Application Facility) and the Numerical Weather Prediction SAF, which provide specialized products for short-range weather prediction. EUMETSAT also collaborates with other international organizations, such as the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), to develop and deliver joint products and services for global weather and climate monitoring. Overall, EUMETSAT plays a critical role in advancing meteorological science and enhancing our understanding of Earth's weather and climate system. By operating state-of-the-art satellite systems and providing comprehensive data and services, EUMETSAT contributes to improved weather forecasting, climate monitoring, and disaster preparedness, ultimately benefiting society and the environment. This page serves as a description of the service and access to their data portal.
