Abstract
The global climate change may have serious impacts on the frequency, magnitude, location and duration of hydrological extremes. Changed hydrological extremes will have important implications on the design of future hydraulic structures, flood-plain development, and water resource management. This study assesses the potential impact of a changed climate on the timing and magnitude of hydrological extremes in a densely populated and urbanized river basin in southwestern Ontario, Canada. An ensemble of future climate scenarios is developed using a weather generating algorithm, linked with GCM outputs. These climate scenarios are then transformed into basin runoff by a semi-distributed hydrological model of the study area. The results show that future maximum river flows in the study area will be less extreme and more variable in terms of magnitude, and more irregular in terms of seasonal occurrence, than they are at present. Low flows may become less extreme and variable in terms of magnitude, and more irregular in terms of seasonal occurrence. According to the evaluated scenarios, climate change may have favourable impacts on the distribution of hydrological extremes in the study area. Extremes hydrologiques dans un basin versant du sud-ouest de l'Ontario sous conditions climatiques futures Resume Le changement climatique global peut avoir des impacts significatifs sur la frequence, l'amplitude, la localisation et la duree des extremes hydrologiques. Les extremes hydrologiques modifies auront d'importantes implications sur le dimensionnement des futures structures hydrauliques, le developpement des plaines d'inondation et la gestion des ressources en eau. Cette etude estime l'impact potentiel d'un climat modifie sur la repartition temporelle et l'amplitude des extremes hydrologiques dans un bassin versant densement peuple et urbanise du sud-ouest de l'Ontario, au Canada. Un ensemble de scenarios climatiques futurs est developpe grâce a un algorithme de generation de temps, lie aux sorties de modeles climatiques globaux. Ces scenarios climatiques sont ensuite transformes en ecoulement de bassin grâce a un modele hydrologique semi-distribue de la zone d'etude. Les resultats montrent que les ecoulements fluviaux maximum a venir dans la zone d'etude seront moins extremes et plus variables en termes d'amplitude, et plus irreguliers en termes d'occurrence saisonniere, qu'aujourd'hui. Les etiages peuvent devenir moins extremes et variables en termes d'amplitude, et plus irreguliers en termes d'occurrence saisonniere. Selon les scenarios evalues, le changement climatique peut avoir des impacts favorables sur la distribution des extremes hydrologiques dans la zone d'etude.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
