The mean states and future projections of precipitation over the monsoon transitional zone (MTZ) in China are examined based on historical climate change projection simulations from phase 5 6 Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5 CMIP6, respectively). Ensemble means CMIP6 models exhibit a clear improvement capturing annual seasonal cycle MTZ, both its spatial pattern magnitude, compared ...

Projected changes in precipitation extremes and their uncertainties are evaluated using an ensemble of global climate models from phase 6 the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP). They scaled by corresponding either mean surface temperature (ΔGSAT) or local (ΔT) expressed terms 20-yr return values (RV20) annual maximum one-day precipitation. Our main objective is to quantify model respo...

The effective climate sensitivity (EffCS) of models in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 6 (CMIP6) has increased relative to CMIP5. We explore implications this for global mean sea-level (GMSL) change projections 2100 three emissions scenarios. CMIP6 surface air temperature are substantially higher than CMIP5, but thermal expansion not. Using these as input construct GMSL with IPCC AR5 ...

Strong Eastern-Pacific type El Niño (EP-El Niño) events have significant impacts on the decaying-summer precipitation over East Asia (EA). It has been demonstrated that frequency of strong EP-El Niños will increase and associated become more severe complex under future high emission scenarios. In this study, using simulations CMIP5 CMIP6, changes summer pattern related to during its decay phase...

Sea surface temperature (SST) bias in the climate models has been a focus past, but subsurface biases have not received much attention yet. In this study, tropical North Pacific (TNP) are investigated by analyzing CMIP6, CMIP5 and OMIP products, performing ocean model simulations. It is found that almost all CMIP simulations pronounced warm (SWB) northeastern (NETP), developments over past deca...
