Abstract: This study assesses the potential of the INM-CM5 climate model to provide multi-year (1–5 years) forecasts of monthly and average annual precipitation and surface air temperature for hydrological application across Russia. Retrospective forecasts (hindcasts) for the period from 1991 to 2023 were used. The forecasts were verified for 12 river basins located almost throughout…

Understanding hydrological pressures caused by melting permafrost
Researchers evaluated the current network of hydrometeorological observation across the permafrost. They wanted to find out how to improve statistical approaches for modelling engineering design and hydrological impact from melting permafrost such as increased flooding. They reviewed the distribution of ground temperature stations and hydrological gauges that currently measure streamflow discharge, where permafrost is covering…
