1 Introduction
In the spring of 2013, the Icelandic Meteorological Office (IMO) started a reanalysis project,
using the HARMONIE numerical weather prediction model. Operationally, this model has been
in use at IMO since the autumn of 2011, and has proven

) Finland the spring flood peaks are
currently by far the largest floods and as they mostly decreased
with climate change the magnitude of the annual 2 and 100-year
floods decreased. In the north (Fig. 8a) some scenarios still pro-
duced large spring floods in 2070–2099. In southern Finland (in
the coastal rivers Fig. 8e and in the lake area Fig. 8d) large floods
occurred not only in spring but also

Abstract. The Little Ice Age maximum extent of glaciers in
Iceland was reached about 1890 AD and most glaciers in the
country have retreated during the 20th century. A model for

negative summer balances, but also lower bw than
the average for 1949–2006. Calculated change in
specific mass balance for a ±1°C change in air tem-
perature was ±0.55 m w.e., whereas a ±10 % in-
crease in precipitation represented a change of ±
0.20 m w.e. Model results further indicated that for
a 2°C warming, the ablation season will be extend-
ed by c. 30 days and that the period

on the European level [e.g.
Water Framework Directive (Directive 2000/60/EC),
Common Agricultural Policy, etcetera], except for the
Ukrainian part of the Tisza. However, the Ukraine shows
strong incentives to enter the EU community and thus the
EU acquis communautaire is used as key reference for the
development of its water management principles. It was
nevertheless decided to select two case-studies

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
