There was a typographical error in the abstract of Smiatek et al. (2013). There were extraneous characters that appeared in the seventh sentence of the abstract. The sentence should read, “An expected precipitation decrease of about −11% in winter and −8% in spring, together with increased temperatures of up to +1.6°C and a significant decrease in snow mass, can substantially limit the water recharge potential already in the near future until 2050.”
The staff of the Journal of Hydrometeorology regret any inconvenience this error may have caused.
