Special Issue: Impact of Climate Change on Hydrology and Water Resources
However, the mechanism of atmospheric circulation and hydrological cycle as well as the internal relationship between them have not been fully understood so far. Therefore, the outputs emanated from the coupling hydrological models and climate change are still uncertain. The problems are mainly reflected in the following aspects: the uncertainty of atmospheric GCMs predictions; the uncertainty of hydrological model simulation technology; the coupling response between GCMs and hydrological model is unidirectional & climate model and hydrological models run alone, resulting in the lack of overall and physical consistent description of hydrological cycle. So, it is difficult to ascertain the changes of land surface hydrological cycle caused by human activities to climate models.
The theme of this special issue is “ Impact of Climate Change on Hydrology and Water Resources”, focusing on the impact of climate change on regional hydrological resources in the future, further improving the simulation accuracy, and improving the research system on the impact of climate change on water resources. High quality research papers are invited to submit on the following themes (but not limited to):
l Impact and prediction of water resources
l Application and development of GCMs and downscaling methods
l Simulation accuracy of the distributed watershed hydrological model
l The two-way coupling between land surface hydrological model and climate model
l Research on extreme hydrological events, water quality, and water environment
l Relationship between extreme climate and extreme hydrological events
