CHANGES OF SURFACE RIVER RUNOFF IN UKRAINE TILL 2050 BASED ON THE PROJECTION OF REGIONAL CLIMATE MODEL REMO

An assessment of future changes in surface river runoff in Ukraine has been performed on the basis of projections of the regional climate model REMO. We have analyzed quantitative scenarios of possible changes in multi-year average surface runoff for four seasons and annually in the period of 2021?2050 relative to 1961?1990 for five selected regions and the entire territory of Ukraine. The area averaged values of surface runoff with minima and maxima in each selected area are determined in mm and in percentage to the level of runoff in the control standard climate period 1961?1990.
