Abstract

In the current research, to investigate the future climate of the Urmia Lake catchment, the maximum and minimum temperature, rainfall and drought in the basin were projected for the period of 2015-2099 using NorESM2-MM climate model under the scenarios of SSP. The downscaling output of the model was done using the quantile mapping method and their accuracy was evaluated in the simulation of the base period (1990-2014) using the monthly diagram and RMSE and NRMSE indicators. The evaluation of the results showed that: the minimum and maximum temperature of the basin under the pessimistic scenario (SSP5-8.5) until the end of the century and under the optimistic scenario (SSP1-2.6) until 2075 have an ascending trend and then a descending trend. Average maximum and minimum temperature of the basin in the near future (1.0 to 1.8) and (1.1 to 1.8) ℃ and in the far future (1.5 to 4.8) and (1.3 to 4.3) ℃ will increase. The annual rainfall in the future period does not have a significant trend, but the average rainfall of the basin in the optimistic scenario will increase by 16.5% in the near future and 8.9% in the far future and in the pessimistic scenario will increase by 1.8% in the near future and 7.2% in the far future. According to the SPEI index, in the future period, under the optimistic scenario, moderate drought will have an ascending trend, severe drought will have a descending trend, and under the pessimistic scenario, the drought will have a descending trend.
