-====== WISLINE   Wind, Ice and Snow Load Impacts on Infrastructure and the Natural Environment ======
-**Main Objectiv**: \\
-  * To quantify climate change impact on technical infrastructure and the natural environment caused by strong winds, icing and wet snow.\\
-\\
-**Sub-objectives:** \\
-  * To improve the description of cloud microphysical processes of importance for simulating atmospheric icing. \\
-  * To quantitatively assess future wind and ice design loads on electric transmission lines in different geographical regions in Norway. \\
-  * To establish risk assessment models for weather hazard induced damages on forests. \\
-**Project Summary** \\
-\\
-Strong winds, atmospheric icing and heavy snowfall are weather phenomena that can cause severe
-damage to technical infrastructure such as the electric power grid as well as natural environments
-such as forests. The objective of WISLINE is to improve predictions and design values of
-atmospheric icing, heavy snowfall and damaging winds in the current climate, and to provide
-quantitative estimates of changes in these parameters in the future, for evaluating the changing risks
-of forest wind throw and disruption of technical infrastructures, in particular the electric power grid.
-In order to meet this objective, the project will: 1) Improve the description of physical processes in
-the atmospheric models, enabling a better quantification of icing and heavy snowfall events; 2)
-Establish improved post-processing and bias-correction methods for better assessment of icing and
-damaging winds. That will serve as input to impact models for analysis of icing on electricity
-transmission lines and wind-throw and breakage in forest stands in a future climate. 3) Apply the
-improved physical parameterizations, post-processing tools and bias correction methods, carry out
-high-resolution simulations of icing conditions and damaging winds in future climates; 4) Develop
-post-processing tools that can enable users to make better decisions with respect to future weather
-challenges. All datasets and results of WISLINE will be open to end-users (scientists, forestry
-management, infrastructure owners, planners, and the public). Open access to data will be made
-available through data distribution systems operated by MET in order to support public and private
-sectors to adapt to climate change. MET Norway will through its core mandate, extend the results
-demonstrated in the project into its base datasets for current and future climate in Norway.
