HYPE model simulations for non- stationary conditions in European medium sized catchments Göran Lindström & Chantal Donnelly, SMHI, Sweden IAHS, 2013-07-23, Göteborg, Sweden.

Outline Objectives Simulate non-stationary conditions, for this workshop. Evaluate effects of the Gudrun storm in 2005. Modeled basins Garonne (France, increase in temperature, decrease in discharge) Durance (France, increase in temperature, decrease of glacier) Lissbro (Sweden, forest loss due to Gudrun storm)

HYPE model Hydrological Predictions for the Environment Simulates daily fluxes and turn-over of water, Nitrogen & Phosphorus Integrated soil- and groundwater, substances follow water flow paths Developed for large-scale applications Routing in rivers & lakes (incl. regulation) Parameters are linked to soil type or land-use, and calibrated Each combination of soil type and land-use is modeled separately First version was developed in 2005-2007, and continuously developed Potential evaporation by air temperature with seasonally varying factor
4
Soil typesLand useSLC+ Soil/Land Use classes (SLC) Most parameters coupled to soil or land-use

HYPE in the world

Durance and Garonne – -35000 subbasins -Median size 215 km 2 -Used for hindcasting, operational forecasting and future climate predictions, Q, Nitrogen and Phosphorous Taken from the E-HYPE pan-European application of the HYPE model For Durance and Garonne: Local model taken from E-HYPE (subbasin delineation, landuse, soil-type, lakes, glaciers, irrigation etc) Used the local forcing data (but with height adjustment to height of each subbasin in catchment for temperature) Calibrated to given Q data by adjusting ’super-parameters’ (also Precip correction where required)

Trends over data period: Observed Trends: Simulated vs Observed Trends: Modeled decrease slightly too weak

Garonne Catchment area: 9980 km² HYPE underestimated the decrease in discharge Temperature increase not the only cause of decreasing discharge? Temperature increased by ~1.2 ºC (whole period) Precipitation decreased by ~8% (whole period) Data uncertainties? Regulation, irrigation?

Does glacial melt in the Durance catchment explain non-stationarity? Glacier = 8 % of areaGlacier = 1 % of area

Gudrun storm, January 2005 About 70 M m3 of trees were blown down. 18 people died (in Sweden) Three worst storms in Sweden: 1902, 1969 and 2005 In a region affected by a summer flood in 2004 Worries about increased flood risk after loss of forest Also known as Erwin storm
13
Gudrun storm January 2005 In the worst hit areas ~8 % of trees were blown down. Max wind speed (m/s) Loss of forest (m3/ha) Lissbro

Previous HBV study of clearfelling Brandt et al. (1988), small-scale experiments, central Sweden Discharge: +165-200 mm/yea r
16
Lissbro, Reference (no change in model) 4 key parameters adjusted to Lissbro data
17
Lissbro, Simulated clearfelling 8% of the forest converted to clearfelling Change in SLC classes
18
Lissbro, Decreased PotEvap Forest PET ~15% higher than open areas (8% forest loss) Change in PET parameter
19
Conclusions Trends in discharge were fairly well captured by the HYPE model for the two French basins (but modeled discharge decrease was too weak in Garonne). Glacier development had negligible effect in Durance. The effects of the Gudrun storm on discharge in Lissbro were very small (within the uncertainty in the model calibration period).
