Abstract:
Flow regimes describe the seasonal runoff behaviour of catchments. They are an integral expression of the existing climate conditions. Climate change leads to modified precipitation patterns, increased evaporation rates, reduced snow and ice storages, etc. These changes cause modifications of the seasonal runoff patterns. The runoff regimes were characterized by their dominating influence factor. Generally glacial, snow and rain fed regime types are distinguished. This work targets to identify climate change induced runoff regime changes in the past for the whole spectrum of regime types (glacial, snow & rain regimes) in the montane area. To cover this spectrum the Swiss alps (glacial & snow dominated regimes) and Southern Alps of New Zealand (rain dominated regimes) were chosen as investigation areas.
