A calibrated approach (standardized questionnaires and
interviews, expert judgment, and reinterpretation of out-
comes by means of relevant literature) was used to com-
pare the state of affairs in water management in the
selected case-studies.

events, water governance capabilities

grid covering Iceland are made available through an online wind atlas (follow the link from

This study is concerned with well-developed, persistent, mid- to high-latitude large-scale weather
systems, rather than their early detection and tracking. Therefore, cyclones

level, surveys commissioned by the European Com-
munity/the European Union provide an indication of trends in concern about cli-
mate change. Since 1992, such surveys have been undertaken among representative
samples of citizens in its Member States, and specifically on topics related to the
environment (Special Eurobarometers (EB) in 1992, 1995, 2002; and a Flash EB
in 2002). These have included

the Köppen classification scheme, this is indicative of the transition from a maritime to a continen-
tal subarctic climate at about an elevation of 300 mASL. The large increase in SAT from winter
to summer at that level leads to decreasing lapse rates during the warm season at lower

Future improvements should be made in the light of applications within a larger toolbox of scenario
methods.
