Icelandic Meteorological Office

Icelandic Meteorological Office (IMO; Icelandic: Veðurstofa Íslands) is Iceland's national weather service. It is also active in volcano monitoring[1], esp. re. volcano seismology[2]

Equipment

From 2016, the Icelandic Veðurstofa manages a dual Cray XC30 system for the Danish Meteorological Institute as weather prediction, due to cheaper electricity and cooling.[3] One is used for development, the other for daily operations.[4]
