  Northern latitudes are experiencing faster warming than other regions in the world, which is partly explained by the snow albedo feedback. In Norway, mean temperatures have been increasing since the 1990s, with 2014 being the warmest year on record, 2.2 °C above normal (1961–1990). At the same time, a concurrent reduction in the land area covered by snow has been reported. In this study, we present a detailed spatial and temporal (monthly and seasonal) analysis of trends and changes in snow indices based on a high resolution (1 km) gridded hydro-meteorological dataset for Norway (seNorge). During the period 1961–2010, snow cover extent (SCE) was found to decrease, notably at the end of the snow season, with a corresponding decrease in snow water equivalent except at high elevations. SCE for all Norway decreased by more than 20,000 km2 (6% of the land area) between the periods 1961–1990 and 1981–2010, mainly north of 63° N. Overall, air temperature increased in all seasons, with the highest increase in spring (particularly in April) and winter. Mean monthly air temperatures were significantly correlated with the monthly SCE, suggesting a positive land–atmosphere feedback enhancing warming in winter and spring.

  To understand the cause of regional temperature change, it is common to separate the temperature change signal into changes in atmospheric synoptic circulation and other factors, so-called within-type changes. In this study, we suggest a novel probabilistic approach that allows detection of months and regions where temperature changes can mainly be attributed to changes in synoptic circulation and where within-type changes also play a role. By combining resampling with a Monte Carlo test, we assess the likelihood that the observed warming can be explained by synoptic circulation changes alone. This method is applicable for any variable, and in any region of the world. We applied it to an example case using gridded WATCH Forcing Data ERA-Interim (WFDEI) temperature data and synoptic types derived from the SynopVis Grosswetterlagen catalogue (1981–2010). For this European example, the most widespread warming was found in summer, with up to 60% of the land area experiencing signicant warming during August, notably in Eastern and Northern Europe. In spring and autumn, this area was reduced to 10–30%. In December and January, only about 5% of the land area experienced signicant warming, most pronounced in northern Scandinavia. The probabilistic approach revealed that changes in synoptic circulation c ould not account for all the observed (WFDEI) warming, with the exception of regions in southeastern Europe in February and Western Europe in May. Signicant warming in other months and regions, such as the large-scale warming in April, June, July, August, and November, must also be caused by other factors. Within-type changes were conrmed for the Black Sea region in November, where the magnitude of a widespread temperature trend was strongest. This European example contributes to an improved understanding of the causes of recent temperature change by assessing the relative role of synoptic circulation changes and within-type changes on regional-scale warming.

  Large-scale hydrological models, simulating the terrestrial water cycle on continental and global scales, are fundamental for many studies in earth system sciences. However, due to imperfect knowledge of real world systems, the models cannot be expected to capture all aspects of large-scale hydrology equally well. To gain insights in the strengths and shortcomings of nine large-scale hydrological models, we assessed their ability to capture the mean annual runoff cycle. Unlike most other studies that rely on discharge observations from continental scale river basins, our study is based on observed runoff from a large number of small, near-natural catchments in Europe. We evaluated the models’ ability to capture the average magnitude, the amplitude, as well as the timing of the mean annual runoff cycle. Our study revealed large uncertainties when modeling runoff from these small catchments. We identified large differences in model performance, however, the ensemble mean (mean of all model simulations) yielded rather robust predictions. Model performance varied systematically with climatic conditions and was best in regions with little influence of snow. In cold regions, many models exhibited low correlations between observed and simulated mean annual cycles, which can be associated with shortcomings in simulating the timing of snow accumulation and melt. Local (grid cell) scale differences between observed and simulated runoff can be large and local biases often exceeded 100%. These local uncertainties are contrasted by a relatively good regional average performance, ultimately reflecting the purpose of the models, i.e., to capture regional hydroclimatology.

  High-resolution regional climate model (RCM) output has been used recently to characterize the spatial and temporal characteristics of large-scale hydrological droughts. Hence the output was interpreted in a spatially explicit manner. This study aims to test the limits of such use and investigates how spatial and temporal characteristics of two large Pan-European droughts (1976 and 2003) were simulated by flow-constituting variables derived from a high-resolution re-analysis. Observed streamflow records of the recently updated European Water Archive (EWA) served as a reference. The results show that while spatial extent and general timing of the extreme hydrological conditions were reproduced by the re-analysis, the simulated droughts were less persistent and interrupted more frequently than the observations suggested. The results support the conclusion that the usefulness of regional climate model simulations at this scale is still limited and targeted validations are required to explore the limits of interpretability in space and time.

  At high latitudes, the snow season has become shorter during the past decades because snowmelt is highly sensitive to a warmer climate. Snowmelt influences the energy balance by changing the albedo and the partitioning between latent and sensible heat fluxes. It further influences the water balance by changing the runoff and soil moisture. In a previous study, we identified southern Norway as a region where significant temperature changes in summer could potentially be explained by land-atmosphere interactions. In this study we hypothesise that changes in snow cover would influence the summer surface fluxes in the succeeding weeks or months. The exceptionally warm summer of 2014 was chosen as a test bed. In Norway, evapotranspiration is not soil moisture limited, but energy limited, under normal conditions. During warm summers, however, such as in 2014, evapotranspiration can be restricted by the available soil moisture. Using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model we replace the initial ground conditions for 2014 with conditions representative of a snow-poor spring and a snow-rich spring. WRF was coupled to Noah-MP at 3 km horizontal resolution in the inner domain, and the simulations covered mid-May through September 2014. Boundary conditions used to force WRF were taken from the Era-Interim reanalysis. Snow, runoff, soil moisture and soil temperature observational data were provided by the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate for validation. The validation shows generally good agreement with observations. Preliminary results show that the reduced snowpack, hereafter “sim1” increased the air temperature by up to 5 K and the surface temperature by up to 10 K in areas affected by snow changes. The increased snowpack, hereafter “sim2”, decreased the air and surface temperature by the same amount. These are weekly mean values for the first eight simulation weeks from mid May. Because of the higher net energy available (∼ 100 Wm-2) in sim 1, both the evapotranspiration and sensible heat fluxes increased. In sim 2, they decreased because of lower net energy. The ground heat flux decreased in sim1 (and increased in sim2). Large increases were seen in runoff, both surface and underground runoff, during the first weeks of sim2 (from mid May), but the timing of snowmelt was only slightly affected. This study contributes to a greater understanding of land-atmosphere interactions in a wet, temperate climate, in particular the role of snow cover (and snowmelt) and its feedback to the atmosphere.

  Europe has been warming over the past decades, especially in southern Europe in summer and northern Europe in winter. To understand the causes of regional warming, it is common to separate the temperature change signal into changes in atmospheric circulation (or dynamic causes) and other factors, so-called within-type changes (or thermodynamic causes). For example, increasing temperatures due to greenhouse gases may alter the position and strength of the polar jet stream, thus causing a change in the atmospheric circulation signal. On the other hand, warming may be entirely independent of circulation, occurring as a general increase in surface temperature. With the aim to detect regions and time of the year in Europe in which recent warming can either be explained by changes in atmospheric circulation or by within-type changes, we suggest a novel probabilistic approach to calculate the circulation-induced trend, the part of the temperature trend that is induced by changes in atmospheric circulation. Through the use of resampling, in combination with a Monte Carlo test, we assessed the likelihood that the observed temperature trend can be explained entirely by changes in atmospheric circulation frequency. The temperature data originate from the gridded 0.5◦ Watch Forcing Data Era-Interim (WFDEI), and cover the period 1981–2010. The SynopVis Grosswetterlagen catalogue of circulation types was used to detect circulation-induced trends in the same time period. We analysed trends on the monthly time scale to reveal short-term responses, such as those related to snow or greening. The most wide-spread observed warming was found in summer, with up to 60% of the European land area experiencing a significant warming trend during August, most notable in eastern and northern Europe. In spring and autumn, the percent area with significant temperature increases reduced to 10–30%. In December and January, only 5% of the land area experienced significant warming, most pronounced in northern Scandinavia. The probabilistic approach revealed that changes in atmospheric circulation could not account for all the observed warming. Regions where the observed trend likely can be explained entirely by changes in atmospheric circulation include western Europe in May, eastern Europe in August and Scandinavia in September. In most of the regions and months experiencing significant trends, however, warming must be caused by other factors as well; such within-type changes potentially driven by feedbacks between the land surface and atmosphere. For two cases where the magnitude of the temperature trend was strongest, northern Scandinavia in December and in the Black Sea region in November, circulation types warmed over time. This confirms the role of within-type change, i.e., that circulation types changed their properties over time. This study provides an important contribution toward improved understanding of the causes of synoptic-scale temperature change in Europe, more specifically, the relative role of circulation-induced changes and within-type changes.

  The IPCC Special Report on Renewable Energy (IPCC, 2012) assesses the potential for renewable energy sources to replace fossil-based fuels and benchmarks the technologies with respect to a set of criteria, including their water footprint measured as m3/MWh. While most of the renewable technologies show a typical range of 1-5 m3/MWh, the very sparse data on hydropower range from a minimum of 0.04 to a maximum of 209 m3/MWh. More recent studies on water footprint from hydropower indicate that the water consumption rates could go even far beyond the numbers published by IPCC (2012). The methodological approach behind these numbers are, however, criticized as it appears over-simplistic and several issues need to be defined and clarified in order to present the ’true picture’ of the water footprint of hydropower. Despite this, the rather high numbers for hydropower may imply a reputational risk for the sector and also be a direct investment risk in new projects if hydropower is considered a "large-scale water consumer". Estimation of water footprint has two important components (i) definition of water footprint (including system boundaries), and (ii) estimation of evaporation, which is assumed to constitute the main water loss from hydropower. Here we will mainly address the second topic and have chosen to use a water footprint definition based on net evapotranspiration from reservoirs. Thus, we need estimates of evapotranspiration from the land surface prior to inundation and the evaporation from the reservoir after it has been filled up. The primary objective of the study is to estimate water footprint of hydropower in Norway and in particular to answer the following questions: (i) How does different environmental variables influence water footprint estimation in Norway?, and in particular (ii) What is the total/specific water footprint from Norwegian hydropower production? To answer these questions we tested how environmental variables like climate and vegetation characteristics influence the estimated net evaporation and water footprint estimates by systematically varying their values. The water footprint was estimated for a subset of hydropower complex for which GIS data sets with land use prior to construction of reservoirs were available. The presentation will focus on the differences in evaporation from reservoirs and evapotranspiration from various land surfaces.

  The water cycle in Europe has changed substantially over the past three decades. Increasing runoff is observed during winter and at northern latitudes in particular. Spring and summer months, as well as southern latitudes, are facing drier conditions. To understand what is driving large-scale changes in runoff, we look into changes in precipitation and temperature and link these to changes in atmospheric circulation. Previous studies have used the method of trend ratios (Cahynová and Huth, 2009) to attribute precipitation and temperature trends to changes in the frequency of circulation types. A trend ratio is the ratio of hypothetical trend, i.e., the trend that would result due to changes in circulation type frequency only, to the observed trend. However, the method of trend ratios has two drawbacks. First, if the observed trend is small, division by a very low value results in a meaningless trend ratio and thus requires a cut-off value to keep the trend ratio within meaningful boundaries. Second, the method does not allow a comparison of the observed trend to the spread of possible outcomes, because the method of hypothetical trends is based on a deterministic model. We propose a new, more robust method for detecting the importance of circulation-induced changes in explaining the observed trends, which has the benefit of being a non-parametric statistical test that assesses the entire range of hypothetical trends. Instead of creating a hypothetical series by replacing the observation on a given day with the long-term climatic mean of a certain month and circulation type (as in the existing trend ratio method), the new approach replaces the observation on a given day with a random sample from the distribution of the variable for the given month and circulation type. The method introduces the possibility to assign a rejection rate, thus allowing statistical significance to be assessed. We apply the method on time series of precipitation and temperature from the gridded 0.5 degree WFDEI dataset, covering Europe (40-65N, 10W-30E). The SynopVis Grosswetterlagen catalogue of circulation types for the time period 1981-2010, the same period as the climatic data, is used. The new approach is used to map in which regions and months changes in atmospheric circulation is the dominating factor controlling changes in precipitation and temperature in Europe.

  Increased global temperatures have been observed during the past decades, and trends are expected to be greatest at high latitudes because of the polar amplification. Polar amplification may be caused by feedbacks between the atmosphere and the surface, such as the ice–albedo feedback: when increased temperatures cause increased snow melting, areas with a lower albedo are exposed and more radiation is absorbed. Thus, the temperature increase is enhanced. In a previous study, we analysed precipitation and temperature trends for the period 1979–2009 using gridded, bias-corrected re-analysis data from the WATCH Forcing Data Era-Interim (WFDEI). The data used consisted of daily temperature and precipitation data from 1 January 1979 to 31 December 2009 (31 years) and covered 34◦ –72◦ N and 13◦ W–32◦ E with a spatial resolution of 0.5◦ × 0.5◦ . Temperature and precipitation trends covering all of Europe were mapped using the Theil-Sen slope as a robust trend estimator. We found the greatest warming in Europe in the northernmost parts of Norway during December and January. The temperature trends for certain months and regions were as high as 8 ◦ C. In this study, monthly temperature trends from WFDEI will be compared with and validated against a daily interpolated dataset for Norway (presented at www.seNorge.no). This dataset has a spatial resolution of 1 × 1 km and covers mainland Norway. Residual kriging is applied to the data to ensure stationarity and remove bias. The daily data will be aggregated to the monthly time scale and monthly temperature trends will be calculated using the Theil-Sen slope for the period 1979–2009. The results will be compared visually with the WFDEI trends covering Norway. In addition, the distribution of trends as well as the fraction of positive and negative trends in the two datasets will be compared.
