Today, 19 February 2014, there has been a very high concentration of PM10 in Reykjavik, and other places in Iceland.
Very strong eastern winds been dominant today, and dry weather – till there was a little bit of flurries in Reykjavik in the afternoon – for instance.
The weather conditions at 17, still strong winds. Notice also the division in temperature, below zero in the northern part, and above zero in the southern part of the country.
Wind speed in Reykjavík. Notice that when the wind climes up around noon, we see a peak in the PM10 values. Around 16 there were some snow flurries, and that can also be seen in the PM10 values.
Particulate matter (PM10) concentration measured at Grensásvegur (GRE) went quite high today.
The highest value is about 2133 µg/m3!
There are also news about a lot of dust/ash being resuspended in the east, around Kirkjubæjarklaustur for instance:
