15 III. Hydrologic implications Annual ET, ET fraction (ET/Precip.) Mean streamflow Design flow estimations

16 Integrated Hydrologic Model TBW and SWFWMD commissioned the development and application of an integrated surface water/groundwater model for the Tampa Bay Region. The Integrated Hydrologic Model (IHM) was developed which integrates the EPA Hydrologic Simulation Program-Fortran for surface-water modeling with the US Geological Survey MODFLOW96 for groundwater modeling.

22 Conclusions Used 3 dynamically downscaled GCMs (i.e.,, Had3CM, ), 3 CDF construction strategies for CDF mapping bias-correction, and monthly method for future scenarios Differences among GCM projections overwhelmed differences among bias correction techniques. Temperature Results All GCMs successfully reproduced spatial distribution and mean climatology of retrospective daily temperature All consistently estimated -3 o C increase of mean temperature for future (39~69) under future A scenario. Precipitation Results Dynamically downscaled retrospective predictions are way off! Retrospective and reproduce seasonal cycle of precipitation.(e.g., wet summer) Different GCMs produced conflicting precipitation change estimates for future A scenarios (some higher, some lower)

23 Conclusions continued Hydrologic implications Even with consistent increased temperature estimates, differences among future precipitation estimates propagate into significant differences in future hydrologic predictions ( i.e. ET, mean streamflow predictions, and 7Q1 estimates). Precipitation signal overwhelms temperature signal in predicting hydrologic implications of projected future changes. Q. How many GCMs are required to get an accurate representation of range of possible future precipitation projections and thus range of possible hydrologic change? Q. Should we continue to use in our analysis?

24 Possible Future Work Consider other climate model products & GHG scenarios NARCCAP, CMIP, COAPS products, etc.? Other methodologies to downscale/bias-correct climate model results? Statistical downscaling methods in order to increase number of GCMs considered? For other regions of Florida? Using hydrologic models from other agencies
