a comprehensive assessment of the impact of climate change on
renewable energy resources in the Nordic area including hydropower, wind power, bio‐fuels and
solar energy.

An increase of uncertainty about the future of renewable resources under climate change is a key issue for the
energy sector. Some renewable energy resources are likely to increase their productivity

o j(t) (with j = 1; :::;k). The general principle of the analogue-based method is to identify, in a
historical archive, the most similar state X(u) to X(t), according to some analogy criteria. The
future evolution of the current state X(t) after a lead time T , X(t+T ), can be forecasted by using
the evolution of analogous state X(u), after the same lead time T , X(u+T ). In other words

the com-
plexity of the hydrological processes through modelling, but its application is usually limited to
the short-range. Although the results demonstrated a great potential for this method, its success-
ful application in real-time will strongly depend on the quality and availability of streamflow
observations, which can be poor or simply missing during periods of variable durations, e.g
