Weather effects are important for ice formation. Measurements from the island
Jan Mayen, which is placed near the Odden area, is used as an indicator for
the weather in the Odden area. This will only give an approximately knowledge
of the weather conditions at the Odden area. In several occasions it has been
observed, that the wind direction measured at Jan Mayen is in bad agreement
with the wind direction in the Odden area estimated from satellite images. The
measured data have been delivered by the Norwegian Meteorological Institute
[NMI, 1993].
The temperature in January and February 1993 is shown in figure 
and
respectively.
