Simulating Rhine river discharges using a land surface model

The Rhine basin will shift from a combined rainfall and snow melt regime to a more rainfall dominated regime, resulting in increased flood risk in winter and a higher probability of extensive droughts in summer. To be prepared for these projected changes, a thorough understanding of the impacts of climate change to the hydrological regime is necessary. A model has been presented at CAIWA conference at Basel, 12-15 November 2007.
