| Zusammenfassung |
| Dynamic downscalings of precipitation scenarios are explored. The
simulations show only a moderate change in the mean annual precipitation
in Iceland. However, there is a substantial precipitation increase
predicted in S-Iceland and W-Iceland in the autumn and in NE-Iceland
in the winter. The simulations show a maximum increase above sloping
topography, leading to the conclusion that due to poor resolution
of the topography, an increase in precipitation in the mountains may
be much greater than simulated. This emphasises the need for highresolution climate simulations. |
