Current regional climate change studies in Hungary : a review

[摘要] After focusing on the changes in Hungarian temperature and preeipitation during this Century, possible hydrological,agricultural and ecological consequences ofa future climate change are described. These resultshave been obtained using a modified version of empirical downscaling techniques, developed to analyse thelocal effects of global climate change in a twofold concentration of atmospheric greenhouse gases scenario. Inaddition, regional changes in temperature and precipitation were examined with the help of the more specificstochastic downscaling method. The climate of Hungary has become warmer and drier over the last Century. Itis to be expected that an increasing concentration of atmospheric greenhouse gases will enhance the tendencytowards aridification.
