“…Prieto et al (1999Prieto et al ( , 2001) linked the trend in global temperature to the trends in hail occurrences in Mendoza. This was also suggested at a regional scale by Dejanovic et al (2019) for Bosnia and Herzegovina. Mezher et al (2012) related hail occurrences with low-level warm anomalies, which are expected to be more frequent in the future over the region (Zazulie et al, 2018).…”

This paper provides a perspective based on the evaluation of scientific evidence of hail suppression activities in Mendoza, Argentina. The province of Mendoza was home to several cloud-seeding projects over the years intended to prevent hail damage to agriculture. Those projects were motivated by the paramount importance of wine production for the regional and national economy. We discuss the uncertainties and gaps in knowledge identified in the results from the hail suppression activities, framing the available research over the study area on a global context. The results of this study indicate that there is no unequivocal scientific evidence that proves a statistically significant reduction of hail frequency and size as a consequence of hail suppressing activities in Mendoza. Such lack of evidence questions the reliability of the projects after almost 60 years of cloud seeding. By analyzing the existing gaps in knowledge in terms of observations, modeling evaluations and understanding of severe convective systems, the study provides a description of future directions and alternatives for hail damage mitigation that need a better science-policy integration. This study can be replicated in other regions where hail suppressing activities are taking place.

“…This influence is manifested through an increase in air temperatures, a decrease in precipitation, but also an increase in the intensity and frequency of extreme climatic events, the most important of which are: intense precipitation, floods, droughts, the appearance of stormy winds, long-lasting heat waves, more frequent occurrence of hail clouds, etc. (Dejanovic et al, 2019;Djurdjevic et al, 2019;Oprašić et al, 2016;Popov et al, 2018aPopov et al, , 2018bPopov et al, , 2019aPopov et al, , 2019bPopov et al, , 2019cTrbic et al, 2018;Trbić et al, 2017). Research on climate impacts can also be found in the works of Bajić and Trbić (2016), Gnjato et al (2019) and Трбић (2011).…”

У раду су приказане пројектоване промјене температурa ваздуха и количине падавина у сливу рије- ке Врбас према климатском сценарију RCP8.5. На основу сателитских податaка израђене су мапе за просјечне мјесечне, сезонске и годишње вриједности температуре ваздуха, суме падавина и висине сњежног покривача за три периода: 2011–2040, 2041–2071. и 2071–2100. у односу на базни период 1971–2000. Резултати истраживања показују да се на простору слива ријеке Врбас може очекивати пораст температуре и смањивање сума падавина и сњежног покривача до краја XXI вијека. Повећање температура ваздуха може се очекивати у свим мјесецима то- ком године, али је најизраженије у јануару, августу, новембру и децембру, када повећање може достићи и до 5 °C до краја овог вијека. Очекивано колебање падавина ће бити више изражено. До 2040. може се очекивати повећање падавина за период прољеће за 10 % у односу на период 1971–2000. До краја вијека климатски сценарији указују на константно смањивање падавина и до 20 % на годишњем нивоу, али на велику неравномјерност у расподјели током сезона, што може условити проблеме са сушом и поплавама.

“…Climate change is having an increasing impact on the agricultural sector in Bosnia and Herzegovina. These impacts are particularly pronounced in the XXI century, and are reflected in increasing air temperature and long-term heat waves, which, with a lack of precipitation, cause droughts, increasing the number of days with hail clouds and hail, reducing rainfall during the summer and reducing the number of days with snow and snow cover retention [2]. Drought is a complex phenomenon that occurs due to a long period of absent precipitation above a geographical area.…”

This paper presents the results of research on possible climate change in Bosnia and Herzegovina according to the climate scenario RCP8.5 and its potential impact on fruit production. Climate change analyses are based on expected fluctuations in air temperature, precipitation and climate indices. The results indicate pronounced climate change, which refers to an increase in annual temperature to 5 °C, and a decrease in annual precipitation of up to 30% and in the summer season (June, July, and August) and up to 40% by the end of the XXI century. In addition, an increase in the number of summer days and a decrease in the number of days with the appearance of snow can be expected. Reducing the number of days with snow and snow cover can cause a decrease in underground aquifers with water during the winter and spring seasons. These changes can have a serious impact on the problem of drought and water deficit, which can have direct consequences for the agricultural sector in Bosnia and Herzegovina, especially for fruit production. These findings show that fundamental changes in agriculture and an approach to land treatment and water resources management, as well as fruit production planning in changed climatic conditions, are needed.
