in ground, rather than atmospheric temperature. Therefore, in the model,
sensible heat flux is defined positive, if heat is transferred from the atmosphere to the ground.
This is in contrast with latent heat fluxes, which are defined positive if directed upward. For
consistency between the two types of heat fluxes, and following a common meteorological con-
vention for non-radiative fluxes

was to strengthen links and exchange information among Nordic researchers and
practitioners in adaptive management related to adaptation to climate change. The workshop
focused on three topics: (i) What is the difference between adaptation and adaptive
management; (ii) Participatory planning processes – group model building; and (iii)
Uncertainty and risk assessment.
The workshop was organised

by selecting the discharge observed T days after the day
corresponding to each selected analogue:
Q(i; t+T ) = Q(ui+T ) (6)
with T =1, 2 or 3 and ui is the date of the ith analogue. A 100(1 p)% confidence interval
was constructed from this ensemble, from the quantiles corresponding to the non-exceedence
probabilities p=2 and 1 p=2: [Qp=2;Q(1 p=2)].

I. Inclusion of norms? : descriptive vs normative
II. Vantage point: forecasting vs backcasting
III. Subject: issue-based, area-based, institution-based
IV. Time scale: long term vs short term
V. Spatial scale: global/supranational vs national/local
B Process design – intuitive vs formal:
VI. Data: qualitative vs quantitative
VII. Method of data collection: participatory vs desk
