Norway is a country which is strongly exposed to weather. Extreme weather events, often lead to loss of life and damage to property. Main economic activities in Norway such as fisheries and oil exploration are very sensitive to weather conditions. In the far north and in wintertime, conditions can be almost ‘hostile’ for many normal activities, such as communication (air, sea, rail and road). Furthermore, vital services such as the supply of electric energy to the Norwegian society can be interrupted due to extreme weather. Many of these activities, can only function well if good meteorological services are available and reliable. |
