in an overall
cold bias, compared with station measurements. To test, whether this is due to the HARMONIE
model core or the external surface scheme, biases of 2-m temperature from SURFEX are com-
pared with biases of temperature projected from the lowest two model levels to 2 mAGL. It is
found that the negative temperature biases are due to shallow inversion layers near the ground,
which are introduced

of the glaciers. An up to 8 m thick winter snow layer
was measured in the accumulation area (∼4 m w.e.). Ice melt
of up 10 m w.e. was measured in the lowest part of the ab-
lation zone in summer, and 2 m w.e. was melted during win-
ter. Taking into account ∼2 m of annual rainfall, the runoff
from this part of the glacier was estimated as ∼14 m w.e. per
year; a surprisingly high value (Ahlmann, 1939

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.

for Iceland were made. The CE
project used an ensemble of six GCMs and RCMs from the PRUDENCE project for four different
emissions scenarios (B1, B2, A2, and A1FI) developed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC). The GCMs used by the CE project showed more warming during winter than
summer. During winter, the median projected warming from 1961–90 to 2070–99 ranged from
3–6 K, and from 2
