1. Introduction From the beginning of May 199 Veðurstofa Íslands The Icelandic Meteorological Office - has made wind and stability observations in a 3 m high mast at Sómastaðagerði in Reyðarfjörður to provide necessary information in connection with plans for a proposed aluminium plant. Two Reports have earlier been issued. The former, Wind and Stability Observations at Sómastaðagerði in Reyðarfjörður (VÍ-G991-TA), presents data for the period May 199 - April 1999. The second Report, Additional Wind and Stability Observations at Sómastaðagerði in Reyðarfjörður (VÍ-G1-TA1), covers the six month period May 1999-October 1999. The present Report contains the results of observations carried out during the six month period November 1999-April as well as comparison between the two month periods May 199-April 1999 and May 1999-April. Three other Reports issued by Veðurstofa Íslands also contain meteorological information for the Reyðarfjörður area (Ref. 3-5). A map of Reyðarfjörður is shown in Fig. 1. Present and former observation stations as well as new stations, mentioned in this report, are indicated on the map.. Observation Site and Instrumentation The observation mast at Sómastaðagerði is located on a low gravel platform (5. N, 1.7 W), elevation of the platform 3 m above mean sea level. The instruments used in the mast have been the same from the beginning of the observations. Platinum resistance thermometers Logan PRT have been used for air temperature observations at 3. m,.5 m and 3.5 m above the platform. For protection from radiation and precipitation -plate Gill radiation shields have been used. For observations of wind direction and wind velocity a Wind Monitor-MA 5, Marine Model, from R.M. Young has been used at.3 m height. Two Gill UVW anemometers are also installed at. m and 3. m and a Vaisala temperature and relative humidity sensor HMP-35D at 3. m, but data from these instruments are not used in this report. A Measurement and Control Module CRX from Campbell Scientific, Inc. has been used for collecting the observation data. The observation mast is shown in Fig. and the instruments at the m level in Fig. 3. A recalibration of the temperature sensors on 1 July 1999 and again on 19 January indicated that the measurements at 3. m height were underestimating temperature by.1 C compared to the temperature sensors at.5 m and 3.5 m heights. Stability has accordingly been slightly overestimated. Due to the small size of this correction and as only one recalibration was then available it was not applied in the former Reports (Ref. 1 and ), but it has been used throughout the present Report. Absolutely speaking the temperature corrections are now believed to be +.1 C at.5 m and 3.5 m and +. C at 3. m height. 3

3. Wind Observations at Sómastaðagerði, November 1999-April Wind observations are unfortunately missing from15 March at 5: GMT to March at 9: GMT. No other wind observations and no temperature observations were missing during the period November 1999-April. The frequency of the wind directions (in %) for each of the months November 1999- April is presented in Table 1 and as wind roses in the upper part of Annexes 1-. For comparison the corresponding frequency for each month in the period November 199-April 1999 is also shown in Table 1. As seen in the table westerly winds are by far the most common at Sómastaðagerði during these months of the year. Table 1.

The highest gust 5. m/s was observed the evening before, on 5 March between 1: and 1: GMT. This gives a gust factor of 1.53. No higher gusts or minute windspeeds were observed in the period May-October 1999, so these extremes are also valid for the month period May 1999-April. During the months before, May 199-April 1999, the highest observed minute wind velocity was.9 m/s and the highest gust was.9 m/s, gust factor 1.. To complete wind informations for the second months of observations a wind rose for that year is presented in the upper part of Annex 7 and for the two six month periods, October 1999-March, and May-September 1999 and April repectively in Annex and Annex 9. In the lower part of these Annexes the average wind velocity of each wind direction is presented. Finally the frequency of minute wind velocity in the period May 1999-April is shown for selected velocity intervals in Table 3. Table 3.

We point out the extraordinary high frequency of low wind velocities in August 1999, when the minute wind speed was below. m/s in 3. % of cases and below 5. m/s in 7.1 % of all cases. 7

. Temperature and Stability Observations at Sómastaðagerði, November 1999- April The average monthly air temperature at 3. m,.5 m and 3.5 m above the ground is shown in Table for the months November 1999-April and November 199- April 1999. For comparison the monthly mean temperature at. m above the ground at the manned weather station Kollaleira (5 N, 1 1 W, m a.m.s.l.) is also presented. The temperature sensor corrections +.1 C at.5 and 3.5 m heights and +. C at 3. m height have been applied at Sómastaðagerði. Table.

The data for the first day of the month begin where 1 is marked on the x- axis of the diagrams, the data for the second day where is marked etc. For the same months the mean diurnal variation of the temperature difference between the observation levels is shown in Annexes 1-1. It is noteworthy how stable the lowest air layer usually is at Sómastaðagerði during the wintertime. As seen in Table 3, the monthly mean temperature during the period November-April has always been higher at 3.5 m than at 3. m above the ground. The monthly mean temperture at the 3.5 m level has also in most cases been slightly higher than at the.5 m level. On average, there is accordingly a ground based inversion layer at Sómastaðagerði during this period. As shown in Annexes -1, the lowest air layer is practically always stable at Sómastaðagerði during the months November-March. At the weather station Kollaleira, located near the end of the fiord and some km west and inland from Sómastaðagerði, the monthly mean temperatures are somewhat lower than at Sómastaðagerði during the winter but higher during the summer. 5. Data Comparison between the Periods May 199-April 1999 and May 1999- April for Sómastaðagerði Data for each of the consecutive months from May 199 to April are now available in three Reports issued by Veðurstofa Íslands, the present one and the two previous Reports, ref. 1 and. Pairs or groups of months can therefore easily be

compared. In Fig. a comparison is presented for the frequency and mean wind speed of the wind directions during the two month periods (or whole years), May 199- April 1999 and May 1999-April. In Fig. 5 and a similar comparison is presented for six month periods, on the one hand for autumn and winter (October- March), on the other for spring and summer (April-September). 1 1 Mean Wind Speed, m/s Wind Speed, May 1999 - April Wind Speed, May 199 - April 1999 Frequency, May 1999 - April Frequency, May 199 - April 1999 Frequency of Wind Directions, % 3 3 5 7 9 1 13 1 15 1 17 1 19 3 5 7 9 3 3 3 33 3 35 Wind Direction ( ) Fig..

Wind comparison, the six month spring and summer seasons, May-September 199 and April 1999, May-September 1999 and April. As seen by Fig. - the mean wind conditions have been very similar during the compared periods. Earlier (Ref. ) we have concluded that the wind data from Sómastaðagerði for the period May 199-April 1999 probably are representative and near average for the 15 year period 193-1997. This should then also be valid for the period May 1999-April. In a similar way and for the same periods a comparison is presented in Annexes 19-1 for the average diurnal temperature difference between the 3.5 m and 3. m levels in the mast at Sómastaðagerði. As seen from these Annexes the mean diurnal temperature difference between the two levels, i.e. the stability conditions, have been very similar during the compared periods. The small difference between the graphs for the two years (Annexes 19-1) indicates the latter year has been slightly more stable than the former. However, the difference is small and of the same order of magnitude as the accuracy of the temperature observations.. Remarks Wind and stability observations in the mast at Sómastaðagerði have now been performed during consecutive months or two years, May 199-April. For the first year, May 199-April 1999, Norwegian Institute for Air Research has carried out dispersion model calculations for the planned aluminium smelter at the former farms Hraun and Sómastaðagerði. Data for the second year, May 1999-April are now available for further model calculations.

7. The Need for Further Observations and Permanent Monitoring It has now been decided to continue the observations in the mast at Sómastaðagerði for the additional year, May -April 1. For further clarification of the air circulation inside Reyðarfjörður it has also been decided to install three automatic wind and temperature stations in Reyðarfjörður, at Vattarnes at the mouth of the fiord, on a promontory in the hillside above Framnes (approx. 7 m a.m.s.l.) and at the recently slightly moved weather station Kollaleira. These three stations will be operated for one year and are planned to be operational from the beginning of June. If the planned aluminium plant will be built at Hraun/Sómastaðagerði, monitoring of pollution and weather will be necessary in Reyðarfjörður. Wind and stability observations, preferably between the aluminium smelter and Búðareyri, would be of great help in evaluating the results of the pollution monitoring. Perhaps the observation mast, presently at Sómastaðagerði, could then be moved to a suitable place near or shortly east of Teigargerði.. References 1.
