Each Working Group addresses one of the five major themes of HyMeX and HyMeX Science Plan which describes the scientific questions to be tackled and defines the general programme strategy. Scientific activities carried out in the programme are coordinated within the WGs.
WG2: Hydrological Continental cycle (see section 3.2 of the WhiteBook)
The rainfall climatology of the Mediterranean region is characterised by dry summers frequently associated with very long drought periods, followed by fall and winter precipitation that are mostly very intense. This results in high daily/seasonal variability in aquifer recharge, river discharge, soil water content and vegetation characteristics, the interactions of which with the atmosphere are not well known. This includes for example the impact of the large extension forest fires associated with drought during summer on the evapotranspiration component of the hydrological cycle. The role of the surface states (land use/land cover) and of the soils on rainfall modulation needs also to be better understood. Hydrological and hydrogeological transfer functions are also characteristic of the Mediterranean basin, notably because of the specificities of the peri-mediterranean karstic and sedimentary aquifers. Progress in their understanding is of primary importance for the development of integrated management of the hydrosystems, and its adaptation to anthropogenic pressure and climate change.
The Key Scientific Questions addressed in this topic are:
WG2-SQ1: How to quantify the water cycle components over the Mediterranean basin through an improved hydro-meteorological framework?
WG2-SQ2: Can we better understand the specificities of the hydrological processes in the Mediterranean? Can we improve the whole Mediterranean basin simulation of the continental hydrological cycle by better accounting for specific Mediterranean characteristics?
WG2-SQ3: How will the continental hydrological cycle evolve in relation to global change?
