Summary Different methodologies for computing PET in climate change scenarios: Temperature Adjustment vs. Energy Adjustment Great Lakes water levels Implications for navigability Great Lakes tributary flow Implications for water quality Downscaling and non-linear processes Assessing GCM driven performances Hydrologic Impacts of Climate Change Workshop

Traditional Evaluation of Climate Change Impact on Watershed Hydrology and WQ 1. Calibrate and validate hydrology and WQ models 2. Downscale present and future climate from GCM (Temperature, Precipitation, Relative Humidity, Wind) 3. Run hydro/WQ model with present and future GCM driven climate 4. Adjust results for known biases introduced by downscaled GCM climate Hydrologic Impacts of Climate Change Workshop

Problems of Traditional Approach When PET is derived as a function of T only (e.g., PET=L e T/TB, Thornthwaite formula), the use of T GCM (or  T GCM ) can lead to an estimation of PET and thus of ET that is Hydrologic Impacts of Climate Change Workshop inconsistent with GCM’s energy balance A possible solution to this problem is adjusting the PET computed by the hydro/WQ model to match GCM PET Lofgren & Hunter 2011

Impact of TA vs EA on River Discharge The effect of TA in the LBRM model is an overestimation of PET, which leads to a strong decrease in river flow, despite the increased precipitation. Hydrologic Impacts of Climate Change Workshop EA produces a river discharge which more similar to the Base case during the warm months Lofgren & Hunter 2011

Impact of TA vs EA on Lake Levels: Average vs Extremes Hydrologic Impacts of Climate Change Workshop Difference in Lake elevation (TA –EA) No clear pattern in difference in 90%-tile (higher) or in 10%-tile (lower) levels, but for the fact that the 10%- tile is more inconsistent.

Effect of Spatial Scale of Precipitation on Erosivity Hydrologic Impacts of Climate Change Workshop

Need to Test Entire GCM+Downscale+Hydro/WQ Systems Connection of different models is complex Problem of scale may not be evident Testing sub-system independently is necessary, but not sufficient When system are GCM-driven, comparison can be done only in statistical way Need of long term measurements “Easy” for meteo/climate Not so easy for WQ data Not so easy for sub-surface Lake data Hydrologic Impacts of Climate Change Workshop
