Answers are provided by the new platform «Hydro-CH2018: Scenarios till 2100» with the two chapters Climate scenarios and Hydrological scenarios. The platform was developed by the Hydrological Atlas of Switzerland (HADES) and is structured analogously. It is based on the research results of the projects Hydro-CH2018 and CH2018. Currently included in “Hydro-CH2018” are precipitation and temperature scenarios, estimates of glacier development and the resulting runoff scenarios for selected catchments until 2100.
Data from Hydro-CH2018 and CH2018 also flow into the less complex Hydro-CH2018 web atlas. Various climate variables are available for measuring stations, large regions or whole Switzerland. Depending on the selection criteria, you get access to graphics and the corresponding data via the web atlas.
