| Zusammenfassung |
| In this study, the impact of global climate change on the temperature and
precipitation regime over the island of Cyprus has been investigated. The
analysis is based on daily output from a regional climate model (RCM) at a
high horizontal resolution (25 km) produced within the framework of the
EU-funded ENSEMBLES project. The control run represents the base period
1961–1990 and is used here as reference for comparison with future
predictions. Two future periods are studied, 2021–2050 and 2071–2100. For
the study area and over the study period, an analysis of the changes
associated with the temperature regime and the hydrological cycle, such as
mean precipitation and drought duration, is presented. Variations in the
mean annual and seasonal rainfall are presented. Changes in the number of
hot days/warm nights as well as drought duration are also discussed. These
changes should be very important to assess future possible water shortages
over the island and to provide a basis for associated impacts on the
agricultural sector. |
