Assessment of the impact of climate change on the water resources in Phu Yen province, Vietnam Nguyen Van Hong1* 1 Sub Institute of Hydro–Meteorology and Climate Change; nguyenvanhong79@gmail.com *Corresponding author: nguyenvanhong79@gmail.com; Tel.: +84–913613206 Abstract: This study investigates the impact of climate change (CC) on water resources in Phu Yen province, Vietnam by assessing historical trends of temperature, rainfall and flood simulation scenarios from a report of Vietnam of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment in 2020. The method for assessing the impacts on water resources was provided in the report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 2007. Several areas in Phu Yen province could be high risk of flooding in the middle of the century, such as Son Hoa, Song Cau, Tuy An, Dong Hoa and Tuy Hoa districts, where were chosen as study areas. The analytical results indicate that the impacts of climate change significantly influence to inundation on water resources in these localities. These results could help to partially predict impacts of climate change in the future and provide useful information to plan adaptation strategies in water utilization in Phu Yen province for the policy making on sustainable management with future climatic condition.

Application of self-organizing maps and K–Means methods to classify summer heat wave weather patterns in Viet Nam Mai Tran Thi Tuyet1, Hoa Van Vo1*, Tuan Le Danh2 1 Regional Hydro–Meteorological Center of Red delta river basin; tuyetmai1295@gmail.com; vovanhoa80@yahoo.com 2 Control Automation Production Institute of Technology (CAPIT); ledanhtuan@gmail.com *Corresponding author: vovanhoa80@yahoo.com; Tel.: +84–912509932 Abstract: The research applies self-organizing maps (SOM) technique in combination with K–Means method to objectively classify weather patterns that cause summer heat wave in Viet Nam based on the dataset from 1998 to 2018. The pressure of mean sea level (PMSL) and geopotential height at 500hpa (H500) of JRA25 reanalysis data are used. The heat wave is defined to occur if the daily maximum temperature of at least 2/3 of surface synoptic stations in research area was greater than 35oC. According to above mentioned criteria, 156 summer heat waves were subjectively found at Northern region in period of 1998–2018. In central and southern regions, the summer heat waves were respectively found 204 and 69. By applying SOM and K–Means, there were 4, 3 and 2 key weather patterns that caused summer heat waves in Northern, Central and Sothern region respectively. In fact, the weather pattern caused summer heat waves at research region is usually related to activities of the western hot depression pattern and Northwest Pacific Subtropical High Pressure. The combination of 2 weather patterns or more was usually found Northern and Central region. However, the number of heat wave detected by SOM is smaller than number of heat wave was subjectively determined by forecaster (there are 109, 171 and 62 heat waves detected by SOM for the Northern, Central and Sothern region respectively). The reason for this result is that SOM method has not been able to identify heat waves caused by the combination of many weather patterns or by small and meso–scale weather patterns.

In the period from 2015 to 2019 in Tra Vinh city, there are areas with annual subsidence rate of about 1 cm/year while in Dan Thanh commune, Duyen Hai district subsidence rate is up to 3 cm/year. One of the reasons for such rapid land subsidence is the excessive exploitation of underground water in these areas, especially in Dan Thanh commune, Duyen Hai district.

Soil topography index and SCS – curve number approach in identifying hot spots of runoff potential areas Anh Bui Khanh Van1* 1 Faculty of Environmental Department – Ho Chi Minh City University of Natural Resources and Environment; bkvanh2020@gmail.com, bkvanh@hcmunre.edu.vn *Corresponding author: bkvanh2020@gmail.com; bkvanh@hcmunre.edu.vn; Tel.: +84–908836115 Abstract: Runoff reduction is the goal of soil and water conservation in agricultural watersheds. Through the runoff, many substances of soil such as sediment, nutrients have been eroded to end up in streams, rivers, and lakes. In decades, studies have revealed various mitigation, including structure and non–structure conservation ranging from field scale to watershed scale. However, the challenges for effectiveness improvement have increased in recent years within the impacts of anthropogenic activities such as land use land cover change and fluctuation in weather conditions. As a result, the runoff generation has been changing in both terms of quantitative and variable sources areas of runoff generation. From the understanding of runoff generation mechanisms, including infiltration excess and saturation excess, this study was conducted with the objective to propose an application of the Soil Topographic Index (STI) and the Soil Conservation Service Curve Number (SCS–CN) in identifying the areas with high runoff propensity. The method utilized GIS–based indices to indicate the high runoff potential areas. The ranking maps were evaluated by Wilcoxon rank sum test and Getis–Ord Gi* spatial statistics. Results demonstrated that there was a statistical significance of the greater STI in inundated cultivation than STI in cultivation areas. However, STI values were not statistically significant in pasture areas. Alternatively, the combination of STI and SCS–CN detected the statistical significance between calculated indices and inundated observed areas. In conclusion, the combination between STI and SCS–CN values is a potential method in redefining runoff generation hot spots.

Evaluation of rainfall characteristics over Vietnam simulated by the Non–Hydrostatic Regional Climate Model – NHRCM during the 1981–2001 period Ha Pham-Thanh1*, Hang Vu-Thanh1, Truong Nguyen-Minh 1 1 VNU Hanoi University of Science, 334 Nguyen Trai, Thanh Xuan, Hanoi, Vietnam; phamthanhha.k56@hus.edu.vn; hangvt@vnu.edu.vn; truongnm@vnu.edu.vn *Correspondence: phamthanhha.k56@hus.edu.vn; Tel.: +84–972355393 Abstract: This study aims to evaluating characteristics of rainfall simulated by Non–Hydrostatic Regional Climate Model (NHRCM) over seven sub–regions of Vietnam during the 1981–2001 period. Features such as seasonal cycle of monthly average daily rainfall, maximum daily rainfall, and frequencies at different thresholds are compared with observations. Statistical evaluations of errors and correlation coefficient are also examined to see the differences between model results and observations. The results show that NHRCM captured well the seasonal cycle of the simulated monthly average daily rainfall, but magnitudes are underestimated in all sub–regions except South Central Vietnam (N1). Generally, underestimations of the simulated daily rainfall are observed in almost all months and sub–regions, higher differences are found in rainy months and the most underestimation of rainfall is observed in South Vietnam (N3). Correlation coefficients over 0.6 are found in North West Vietnam (B1) and South Vietnam (N3). Monthly absolute maxima of the observed daily rainfall are found in North Central (B4) in transition months when the model usually underestimated significantly. In addition, NHRCM tends to simulate cases with rainfall amounts below 16 mm/day or above 50 mm/day with higher frequencies compared with the observations. In contrast, frequencies detected by NHRCM seem to be lower than those of the observations for rainfall amount in 16 – 50 mm/day, especially in sub–regions N2 and N3. These results are supportive for applying the Regional Climate Model in simulating rainfall characteristics over Vietnam, especially for Non–Hydrostatic version.
