temperature, the overall bias in January is reduced by 86%, with a reduction in overall MAE of
17%. For wind speed, the overall January bias is reduced by 74%, with a reduction in overall
MAE of 9%. Both, for temperature and wind speed, the main benefit of the correction procedure
is a reduction of differences between monthly mean values. Mean absolute

a greater source of uncertainty than the choice of emission sce-
nario or RCM.
The flow regimes in different regions in Finland are demon-

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
the surface mass balance

by ice lifting and deformation induced by subglacial water pressures higher than ice
overburden pressure.
The discharge data and the derived size of the subglacial flood path, as indicated
by the volume of water stored subglacially, indicates a development towards more
efficient subglacial flow over the course of the jökulhlaup. Thus, a discharge in the

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

conservative enhancement of the reduced IPCC ensemble mean warming rate would therefore
result in 0.37 K per decade for the Icelandic elevated terrain.
