- Abstract
Climate change impact on hydrological processes in the largest Nemunas river basin of Lithuania has been estimated through combination of results from A1B, A2 and B1 emission scenarios and global climate models (ECHAM5 and HadCM3). Temperature and precipitation simulations from regional climate model were transferred to meteorological station sites using the delta change approach method. These climate scenarios were used as input data for HBV hydrological model. Projections of climate change impacts on hydrological processes were calculated with HBV for the periods 2011-2020, 2031-2040, 2051-2060, 2071-2080, and 2091-2100. The results were compared with baseline period 1975-1984. Projected changes in Nemunas river runoff are linked to changes of temperature and precipitation.
