● Example of RCM-SEEVCCC climate projections application • ● Regional dynamical downscaling provides information with more details about • present climate and future climate changes. • ●Important for different impact studiesespecially on regional level: • energy, hydrology, agriculture, environmental protection, industry,.. • ●Summer Drying Problem (CLAVIER project) • It is well known that Climate models in region of Pannonian valley have significant BIAS, • therefore it is necessary to apply more complex BIAS correction for climate change impact. • ● Example: Application of Climate Projections in Vineyard Regions in Serbia • Subotica-Horgos • Srem • Banat • Sumadija • West Morava • Timok • Nisava-South Morava • Pocerac • Kosovo • Results for 2071-2100 (A2): • growing season: • beginning April → March • growing degree days 1440 → 2400 • duration 200 → 240 days • above tolerable warmer and dryer • rest season: • beginning one month later • first frost date ~15days later • number of frost days 90 → 50 • no appearance of critical temp. <-15C • Climate in present vineyard regions (<400m alt.) • Shifts on ~1000m altitude
Some selected results… growing season start date growing degree days first autumn frost date first frost date beginning ending April 1.Nov. winter spring autumn winter March present climate Summary future climate 2400 growing season duration: 200 → 240 days number of frost days: 90 → 50 1400 growing degree days: 1400 → 2400 num. of days Tmin<-15C: 3 → 0 warmer, dryer! Mountain station ~1000m altitude enters the climate regime of present vineyard regions!
