Contribution of Glacier Runoff during Heat Waves in the Nooksack River Basin USA

Mauri S. Pelto et al.

Summary: The response of glaciers to climate change in the North Cascades, Washington has led to a significant decline in glacier runoff in the Nooksack Basin. Glacier runoff plays a crucial role in mitigating low flow and warm water temperatures during the summer, particularly during heat waves. Observations have shown that glacier ablation affects the discharge and water temperature in the North Fork Nooksack River. The ongoing climate change will likely further decrease summer baseflow and increase water temperatures, which could have negative impacts on salmonid species.

Impact of Climate Change on Precipitation Extremes over Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Dao Nguyen Khoi et al.

Summary: The study assessed the spatiotemporal changes in extreme precipitation indices over Ho Chi Minh City. Results showed a general increasing trend in most extreme indices for the future periods, with the intermediate future period exhibiting more statistically significant trends and higher growing rates.

Heterogeneous snowpack response and snow drought occurrence across river basins of northwestern North America under 1.0°C to 4.0°C global warming

Rajesh R. Shrestha et al.

Summary: The study predicts that under global warming, there will be a decline in snow water equivalent in large river basins of northwestern North America, with more severe declines in southern regions and the possibility of small increases or decreases in northern regions. The findings suggest that temperature and precipitation play a significant role in these changes, and that southern basins with high water demands are likely to experience the most extreme occurrences of snow drought.

Climatic Controls on Mean and Extreme Streamflow Changes Across the Permafrost Region of Canada

Rajesh R. Shrestha et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the historical trends in streamflow components of the permafrost region in Canada, finding spatially varied trends and significant impacts of temperature and precipitation on streamflow. The study revealed that temperature has a dominant control over minimum flow, while precipitation plays a significant role in mean and maximum flow.

Nonstationary Design Flood Estimation in Response to Climate Change, Population Growth and Cascade Reservoir Regulation

Yuzuo Xie et al.

Summary: The study proposes a new framework for design flood estimation that can better explain the nonstationary spatial correlation of flood events in the Han River basin. The results indicate that the impacts of climate change and population growth are long-lasting processes with significant flood risk compared to stationary distribution conditions. The swift effects of cascade reservoirs are reflected in design flood hydrographs with lower peaks and lesser volumes.

The Impact of the Uncertain Input Data of Multi-Purpose Reservoir Volumes under Hydrological Extremes

Stanislav Paseka et al.

Summary: This study focuses on uncertainties in water management tasks, specifically on determining the functional water volumes of a reservoir during extreme hydrological events under conditions of input data uncertainties. It involves the development of simulation-optimization models and the application of the Monte Carlo method to comprehensively determine the storage volume of the reservoir. The practical application of the models in a case study of the Vir reservoir in the Czech Republic provides insights on the reservoir's resilience to hydrological extremes and suggests potential redistributions of functional volumes under conditions of measurement uncertainty.

Concurrent Changes in Extreme Hydroclimate Events in the Colorado River Basin

Katrina E. Bennett et al.

Summary: This paper examines concurrent changes in hydroclimate extremes in the Colorado River basin, indicating that temperature-driven impacts (heatwaves, drought) have the strongest responses. Considering extreme events simultaneously is crucial for linking economic and social effects on a regional scale.

Uncertainties in Riverine and Coastal Flood Impacts under Climate Change

Shuyi Wang et al.

Summary: The study found that the risks of future riverine and coastal flooding will intensify, resulting in more severe inundation that affects the communities on the coastline and the estuary area. The importance of accurate representation of storm patterns and the higher risks of flooding associated with WRF-IDFs compared to GCM-IDFs are highlighted.

Multiple Indicators of Extreme Changes in Snow-Dominated Streamflow Regimes, Yakima River Basin Region, USA

Anna M. Wagner et al.

Summary: The study in the Yakima River Basin shows clear increasing trends in air temperature and snow water equivalent, leading to shortened snow duration and earlier peak SWE. These changes will pose challenges for water resources, streamflow, and irrigation water supply in the region.

Assessing Climatic Drivers of Spring Mean and Annual Maximum Flows in Western Canadian River Basins

Yonas B. Dibike et al.

Summary: The study found that snow water equivalent, April 1st snow water equivalent, and spring precipitation are the most important predictors of annual maximum flows and mean spring flows in western Canadian river basins. The MLR framework is useful for assessing the spatial variation in hydroclimatic controls. Future projections show significant spatial variations in annual maximum and mean spring flows.

Hydrological Extremes and Responses to Climate Change in the Kelantan River Basin, Malaysia, Based on the CMIP6 HighResMIP Experiments

Mou Leong Tan et al.

Summary: This study uses the latest climate simulation data and hydrological models to evaluate future extreme flows in the Kelantan River Basin in Malaysia. Results show that future precipitation, streamflow, and temperatures are projected to increase, especially during monsoon seasons, indicating potential changes in hydro-climatic extremes. Additionally, differences in projections between high-resolution and low-resolution models highlight the importance of model resolution in understanding future changes.
