Abstract:
Given the strategic importance of water as a resource and as a source of risks at social, economical, and environmental level, and the growing number of applications of the climate models outputs, it is crucial to assess how climate models are able to represent the statistical properties of the hydrological balance of river basins. From a climatic point of view, the Danube basin is especially interesting because it is within continental Europe, while featuring a close connection to the Mediterranean region. On one side, the Danube, as it flows into the connected Black Sea basin, gives a relevant contribution of freshwater flux (on average, more than twice the Nile’s) into the Mediterranean Sea. The project is relying on a data base for lower basin Danube made of hydrological and climatologically parameters. The data base will contain time series of discharges, levels, water temperatures, ice regime, suspended materials, and other. Also it will contain climatic parameters like local air temperature, precipitation, evaporation, speed and wind direction, cloud cover, etc. We will use different data sources like hydrological annuals, data resulted from research contracts and other public data sources. Using both climatologically and hydrological parameters we will have the possibility to interpolate them. Due to a complex orography, such a data base will be useful for further research of lower basin Danube variability and predictability at different time scales and the impact of different air circulation as Atlantic, Carpathians mountains, Mediterranean Sea and other.
