Indledning

PrefaceThe Statistical Yearbook 2011 is a book about Denmark and the Danish people. The figures show the development of Danish society year by year. This has been the case every year since the first edition of the Statistical Yearbook, dating back to 1896. The Statistical Yearbook is the most comprehensive of the publications published by Statistics Denmark, and it reflects the majority of the statistics compiled by Statistics Denmark. Approximately 160 of the specialists working at Statistics Denmark contribute to the yearbook. Furthermore, the yearbook also includes data compiled by other Danish institutions. The yearbook is accessible, free of charge, in pdf format at www.dst.dk/aarbog. Any changes or corrections made to the tables of the yearbook are also available on the website mentioned. Historical versions of the Statistical Yearbook from 1896 and up to the present day are available in pdf format at www.dst.dk/aarbogsarkiv and it is possible to search for specific words. Since last year, all editions of the yearbook have been scanned and are now available at www.dst.dk/aarbog. In addition, other older publications will regularly be scanned in on the website. The English version of the yearbook is available in pfd format at www.dst.dk/yearbook. We always welcome any comments or suggestions from our users.

Geography and climate

Geography and climate1 GeographyThe long Danish coastline Denmark is a small country, compared to its closest neighbours. Sweden and Germany are ten times and eight times larger respectively than Denmark, which has 2 an area of more than 43,000 km . On the other hand, Denmarks coastline is extraordinarily long for a country of this size. Denmark stretches along a coast of more than 7,300 km, which is longer than the Chinese Wall. It corresponds to almost one and a half metre of coast per inhabitant. One characteristic of Denmarks geography is the many islands, a total of 407. The largest islands are, by order of mention, Sjlland, Vendsyssel-Thy, Fyn, Lolland and Bornholm. Jutland (including Vendsyssel-Thy) account for 70 per cent of Denmarks total area. In addition to Denmark, the Kingdom of Denmark includes the self-governing areas of Greenland and the Faroe Islands. The ice-free part of Greenland is almost ten times larger than Denmark. Denmarks nature is characterized by agriculture and forests For thousands of years, Denmark has been an agricultural country, and this has largely characterized Danish landscapes. Consequently, two thirds of the landscape consists of man-made agricultural areas. However, forests are also evident in the landscape in the form of, among other types, deciduous forest and coniferous forest. Rold Forest and Grib Forest are the largest forests.Figure 1Artificial surfaces, 9.8 per cent Agricultural areas, 66.3 per cent Forests and semi-natural areas, 15.6 per cent Wetlands, 5.2 per cent Unclassified, 1.5 per centTable 4

Distribution of Denmarks area by type of areaDistribution of total area Distribution on artificial surfaces Towns, buildings etc., 74.3 per cent Roads etc., 20.6 per cent

Railways, bridges and dams, 1.4 per cent Other artificial surfaces, 3.7 per cent

Man-made infrastructure and buildings characterize the landscape Cities, roads, railroads, bridges and other types of man-made surfaces cover a total of 10 per cent of Denmarks area, corresponding to three times the area of the Faroe Islands or 56 per cent of Sjlland. Urban centres, such as residential neighbourhoods and industrial districts, dominate and account for three-fourths of the man-made surfaces.

ClimateIt rains or snows every second day The Danish weather is known for being variable. It is a fact that it rains or snows every second day in Denmark, since a year has an average of 171 days of precipitation. Snow seven days a month during the wintertime Denmark has mild winters without large amounts of snow, but with much rain. On average, it snows seven days every month in December, January and February. This decreases to five days of snow in March, and April has an average of three days of snow.

Temperature variations of 16 C during a year In a year, the average temperature generally varies from 0 C in January to 16 C in August. Great variations occur in relation to the average. The coldest day in more than 100 years was a January day in 1982 with temperatures of -31 C, and the warmest day was an August day in 1975 with temperatures of 36 C. and it will be overcast again today A natural feature of everyday life in Denmark is overcast days and many clouds in the sky are. The clouds cover an average of two thirds of the sky in a year, but the summer is the least cloudy season with an average cloudiness of 60 per cent. Not many days of sunshine in a year Denmark is a country where the total hours of sunshine a year gives occasion to enjoy the sun while it is out. There is an average of four hours of sunshine a day, naturally primarily during the spring and summertime. From May to August, there are more than six hours of sunshine a day.
