Session ID#: 17125

Session Description:
Hydrological systems are very sensitive to changes in climate. Recent and future increased temperatures are expected to increase potential evapotranspiration and possible complex changes in rainfall variability, which can impact on soil moisture, streamflow, groundwater recharge, floods and droughts. Such hydrological impacts can be assessed by forcing hydrological models with simulations from downscaled global climate models. However, hydrological systems are also influenced by modes of climate variability (ENSO, NAO, AMO), whose the continental impacts are not well reproduced in global climate models. This reduces significantly our capacity to project future changes in hydrological systems and water resources, and to develop adaptation scenarios for population. We therefore welcome abstracts which capture recent insights for understanding past or future impacts of large-scale climate variability on hydrological systems, including projections and reconstructions, as well as impact or adaptation scenarios for water resources. Results from model intercomparison studies are especially encouraged.
