The Paris Agreement set a goal to keep global warming well below 2 °C and pursue efforts limit it 1.5 °C. Understanding how 0.5 less reduces impacts risks is key for climate policies. Here, we show that both areal population exposures dangerous extreme precipitation events (e.g., once in 10- 20-year events) would increase consistently with the populous land monsoon regions based on Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 multimodel projections. reduce once-in-20-year by 25% (18–41%)...
Abstract Extreme high‐temperature events have large socioeconomic and human health impacts. East Asia (EA) is a populous region, it crucial to assess the changes in extreme this region under different climate change scenarios. The Community Earth System Model low‐warming experiment data were applied investigate mean high temperatures EA 1.5°C 2°C warming conditions above preindustrial levels. results show that magnitude of approximately 0.2°C higher than global mean. Most subregions,...
Abstract. The Global Monsoons Model Inter-comparison Project (GMMIP) has been endorsed by the panel of Coupled (CMIP) as one participating model inter-comparison projects (MIPs) in sixth phase CMIP (CMIP6). focus GMMIP is on monsoon climatology, variability, prediction and projection, which relevant to four “Grand Challenges” proposed World Climate Research Programme. At present, 21 international modeling groups are committed joining GMMIP. This overview paper introduces motivation behind...
Changes in precipitation characteristics directly affect society through their impacts on drought and floods, hydro-dams, urban drainage systems. Global warming increases the water holding capacity of atmosphere thus risk heavy precipitation. Here, daily records from over 700 Chinese stations 1956 to 2005 are analyzed. The results show a significant shift light eastern China. An optimal fingerprinting analysis simulations 11 climate models driven by different combinations historical...
Abstract The Indian summer monsoon (ISM) rainfall affects a large population in South Asia. Observations show decline ISM from 1950 to 1999 and recovery 2013. While the has been attributed global warming, aerosol effects, deforestation, negative-to-positive phase transition of interdecadal Pacific oscillation (IPO), cause for remains largely unclear. Through analyses 57-member perturbed-parameter ensemble model simulations, this study shows that externally forced trend is relatively weak...
Subtropical anticyclones dominate the subtropical ocean basins in summer. Using multimodel output from phase 5 of Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5), future changes as a response to global warming are investigated, based on subsidence, low-level divergence, and rotational wind. The over North Pacific, South Atlantic, south Indian Ocean projected become weaker, whereas Atlantic anticyclone (NASA) intensifies, Pacific (SPSA) shows uncertainty but is likely intensify. Diagnostic...
Abstract The Afro-Asian summer monsoon (AfroASM) sustains billions of people living in many developing countries covering West Africa and Asia, vulnerable to climate change. Future increase AfroASM precipitation has been projected by current state-of-the-art models, but large inter-model spread exists. Here we show that the projection is related present-day interhemispheric thermal contrast (ITC). Based on 30 models from Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6, find with a larger ITC...
Abstract Previous studies on the predictability of East Asian summer monsoon circulation based SST-constrained Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project (AMIP)-type simulations show that this phenomenon is reproduced with lower skill than other patterns. The authors examine reason in terms land–sea thermal contrast change. In observation, a stronger dominated by tropospheric warming over continent and cooling tropical western Pacific North Pacific, indicating an enhancement summertime...

Abstract An integrated picture of the future changes in water cycle is provided focusing on global land monsoon (GLM) region, based multimodel projections under representative concentration pathway 8.5 (RCP8.5) from phase 5 Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5). We investigate reservoirs (e.g., precipitable water, soil moisture) and fluxes precipitation P, evaporation E, minus P − total runoff) cycle. The projected intensification with warming GLM region reflected robust increases...
The Earth-Climate System Model (ECSM) is an important platform for multi-disciplinary and multi-sphere integration research, its development at the frontier of international geosciences, especially in field global change. research (R&D) ECSM China began 1980s have achieved great progress. In China, ECSMs are now mainly developed Chinese Academy Sciences, ministries, universities. Following a brief review history ECSMs, this paper summarized technical characteristics nine participating...
Abstract The Tibetan Plateau (TP) is known as Asian Water Tower and its atmospheric water cycle has been a lasting challenge to climate modeling community.
