50 Simulations show a general increase of the annual mean precipitation and rain intensity for Russia in the XXI century, but the wet day probability increases only in the northern latitudes. These tendencies are related basically to winter seasons, while in summer the decrease of wet day probability was simulated for the main part of Russia. It is resulted in the decrease of summer precipitation over significant part of Russia, though the rain intensity in summer for Russia generally increases. Model results display that the increase of temperature in the XXI century is accompanied in the mid-latitudes over land by the decrease of precipitation in spring-summer and by the increase of drought indices. Drought indices display also the general variability increase in the XXI century. Model results display an increase of mean values of regional precipitation and runoff in the Ob, Yenisei, Lena, Volga and Neva rivers basins. Alongside with such a general tendency a remarkable variations with an increase of variance of regional hydrological characteristics have been noted from model simulations. In particular, models show some decrease of the Volga, Ob and Yenisei rivers runoff at the beginning of XXI century. Sensitivity of permafrost conditions in the Northern Hemisphere as a whole from model simulations depends on forcing only slightly and agrees with paleoreconstructions.

51 Droughts and Fires Different data are used for diagnosis of drought and fire conditions and their changes in the Northern Eurasia regions, in particular daily meteorological observations from the RIHMI- WDC, gridded data from the CRU, reanalyses ERA-40 and NCEP/NCAR data. Extreme meteorological conditions in spring and summer months (May-June-July) are analyzed for the basic cereals- producing regions in the European (ER) and Asian (AR) mid- latitudinal regions of Russia and contiguous territories during Global and regional climate models simulations (SRES-A2, SRES-B2)

52 Droughts Q – precipitation T – surface air temperature higher than 10°C for some time period (month and vegetation season). Hydrothermal Coefficient (HTC) Drought conditions can be characterized by the D index with the negative precipitation anomalies δPr (normalized on the long-term mean value for precipitation) larger than -20% and positive temperature anomalies δT larger than 1K. Similar index M characterizes the wet conditions with δPr>20% and δT

53 Fires Different characteristics of fire hazard are used. We used the Nesterov fire frequency index for wildfires and its modifications as a characteristic of fire hazard. The fire hazard index I F was determined from meteorological data according to I F = Σ(T M - T d )T M. Here T M is the maximal temperature in о C and T d is the temperature of the dew-point (depending on relative humidity and temperature) in о C. Summation is performed for those days when the daily precipitation P does not exceed 3 mm. At P > 3 mm the I F value turns to zero. Conditions with I F are considered as regimes with low (II), moderate (III), high (IV), and extreme (V) level of fire hazard.

59 Fires 2007 We used also the Nesterov index IF for the forest fires conditions and its different modifications (Nesterov, 1949; Venevsky et al., 2002). This index was calculated by using daily temperature (at 12 h) at the surface, dew-point temperature and precipitation. The difference between the two temperatures was multiplied by the daily temperature and summed over the number of days since the first day with daily precipitation less than 3 mm. When the daily precipitation exceeds 3 mm, the IF value is defined as zero. The ignition potentials are considered to be moderate, high and extreme ones for IF values between 300 and 1000, between 1000 and 4000 and above 4000, correspondingly. We used also modified index ITF for the forest fires. It is defined as a summary of daily temperatures (at 12 h) over the number of days since the first day with daily precipitation less than 3 mm.

60 Regional Climate Changes The index ID of drought conditions can be characterized by negative precipitation anomalies Pr larger than ( Pr)cr by absolute value and positive temperature anomalies T larger than ( T)cr. These critical values can be proportional to respective standard deviations or equal to fixed values. Droughts in EER and WAR are reasonably described with critical anomalies equal to 20% for precipitation and 1K for surface air temperature (Meshcherskaya and Blazhevich, 1997). We used also the Nesterov index IF for the forest fires conditions and its different modifications (Nesterov, 1949; Venevsky et al., 2002). This index was calculated by using daily temperature (at 12 h) at the surface, dew-point temperature and precipitation. The difference between the two temperatures was multiplied by the daily temperature and summed over the number of days since the first day with daily precipitation less than 3 mm. When the daily precipitation exceeds 3 mm, the IF value is defined as zero. The ignition potentials are considered to be moderate, high and extreme ones for IF values between 300 and 1000, between 1000 and 4000 and above 4000, correspondingly. We used also modified index ITF for the forest fires. It is defined as a summary of daily temperatures (at 12 h) over the number of days since the first day with daily precipitation less than 3 mm. Different data are used for diagnosis of drought and forest fire conditions and their changes in regions Northern Eurasia during the second half of the 20th century. In particular, daily station data from the RIHMI (Razuvayev et al., 1993), gridded observational data from the CRU (New et al., 2000), data of the ERA-40 (Simmons et al., 2000) and NCEP/NCAR (Kistler et al., 2001) reanalyses are analyzed (Mokhov et al., 2002; Mokhov, 2005). We analyzed also extremal meteorological conditions in May-July (MJJ) for the basic cereals-producing regions in the eastern European (EER) and western Asian (WAR) mid- latitudinal regions from (Meshcherskaya and Blazhevich, 1997).

82 Global climate simulations are analyzed in comparison with observations for an assessment of changes in regional hydrologic cycle, particularly precipitation and river runoff. Both coupled general circulation models and global model of intermediate complexity are used with different anthropogenic scenarios for the 21 st century. Special attention is given to estimates of possible changes in the Volga, Ob, Yenisei and Lena rivers basins. Different characteristics of precipitation including mean precipitation, rain intensity, rain event probability and extreme events are analyzed. Regional climate extremes like droughts and fires are also analyzed with the use of regional model simulations.

83 CONCLUSIONS Hydrological changes are expected to manifest in the 21 st century through different patterns in Russia due to its large latitudinal-longitudinal extension. Hydrological cycle processes undergo significant regional changes dependent on season and level of global and regional warming. There are still large uncertainties in model simulations and evaluation of regional hydrological characteristics (precipitation, soil water content, runoff, extreme events etc.) and their changes.
