Some potential limitations of using the CMIP3 ensemble for probabilistic climate change
forecasting should be mentioned. First, current GCMs still have a relatively coarse horizontal
resolution. Within the CMIP3 ensemble, the grid spacing varies from 1.1 q latitude × 1.1 q
longitude to 4 q latitude × 5 q longitude (for the analysis presented here, all the model results

) 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

interval are deter-mined. The curves are extrapolated to the lower andupper parts. Another approach, however, was used
until the 1980s when hand-contoured maps of ac-cumulation and ablation were made from the ob-
servations. The areas within each height interval(50 m) were planimetered and the total amount ofaccumulation and ablation was calculated for eachheight interval, and profiles bw(z), bs(z
