Our contribution to workpackage
objectives
• Hydrological rainfall-runoff models to
investigate impacts of climate change
on stream discharge
• Using the climate change signal from
RCMs

Our contribution to workpackage
objectives
• Response surfaces for selected
applications
• Direct use of multiple regional model
projections
• Comparison of outcomes from the two
methods

What have we achieved since Lund?
• In Lund, we showed some preliminary
response surfaces
• Now, we have produced many more
• In Lund, we discussed the question of
seasonality
• Now, we have investigated the details
of representing seasonality

Some Conclusions
• Seasonal differences not so apparent for annual runoff
• Shows up in monthly results, and even more for thresholds, although not all basins are equally sensitive
• Different methods for representing seasonality have an impact
• Representation of evapotranspiration is problematic (as usual!)
![Page 22: Hydrological response surfaces in the Nordic Region for use in probabilistic assessment of climate change Phil Graham Sara-Sofia Hellström Fredrik Wetterhall.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55151ec9550346c77d8b50f4/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Coming Work
• Contribution to del. 6.7 (RS Report)
• Not too much more on response surfaces before data starts coming
• Next major effort will be to work with direct modelling of RCM simulations (the “Matrix,” as soon as they are
available)
![Page 23: Hydrological response surfaces in the Nordic Region for use in probabilistic assessment of climate change Phil Graham Sara-Sofia Hellström Fredrik Wetterhall.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55151ec9550346c77d8b50f4/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Questions for Discussion
• Critical thresholds, we use experience
from critical past events, better ideas?
• What if there is widely differing
seasonality from the climate models?
• What will we actually get from the
climate models (i.e. probabilistic info.)?
• How many simulations will be available
(perturbed vs. RCM results)?
