RUNOFF MODELLING IN ICELAND WITH THE HYDROLOGICAL MODEL, WASIM

The distributed hydrological model WASIM has been employed in studies carried out at the Hydrological Service in the past five years. The model has been used to produce a runoff map of Iceland for the decades 1961-1990 and a projection of future runoff for the decades 2071-2100. Modeled runoff data...

Description
Summary:The distributed hydrological model WASIM has been employed in studies carried out at the Hydrological Service in the past five years. The model has been used to produce a runoff map of Iceland for the decades 1961-1990 and a projection of future runoff for the decades 2071-2100. Modeled runoff data are also being provided as boundary conditions for oceanographic modelling. Further application of the WASIM model in coming years is outlined.
