Fig. 5. Exposure coefficients for 389 meteorological stations (weather data from the reference 30-year period<br />

1961 – 1990) and characteristic snow load on the ground (kN/m 2 , 50-year return period) for municipality<br />

centres.<br />

Six meteorological stations (2 %) achieve values of the exposure coefficient equal<br />

to 0.5. Two of these stations are situated in the mountains of southern Norway 1828 m and<br />

2062 m above sea level, respectively. The other four stations are situated in the<br />

northernmost parts of Norwegian mainland, 70 degrees north at the gateway to the Northeast<br />

Passage and to the Barents Sea. Three of these stations are situated at lighthouses close<br />

to the sea and exposed to the weather. Only one station is situated in a settled area: “Vardø<br />

radio” in Vardø.<br />
