Climate Variability and Change

 

 

This project component will assess the regional variability in climate, evapo-transpiration and precipitation at different spatio-temporal resolutions. Based on hydrological and meteorological observations, changes in the water budget components will be quantified, including natural decadal and multi-decadal variations and superimposed anthropogenic trends. To this end modelling tools (COSMO-CLM, SWAT, CENTURY, DNDC,  RothC,  SIAT) will be adapted to local conditions and employed to investigate the role of the Altay as a water reservoir, distributor and buffer for the Dzungarian Basin and the sensitivity of these functions to the anticipated changes in the rainfall pattern throughout the year (winters with increased snowfall and hot dry summers).
