Abstract Statistical downscaling and dynamical are two approaches to generate high‐resolution regional climate models based on the large‐scale information from either reanalysis data or global models. In this study, these methods used simulate surface of China compared. The Downscaling Model (SDSM) is cross validated downscale China. Then, downscaled historical 1981–2000 future 2041–2060 compared with that Weather Research Forecasting (WRF) model driven by European Center‐Hamburg atmosphere...

ABSTRACT Under the framework of Regional Climate Model Intercomparison Project (RMIP III), simulation results from six regional climate models (RCMs) and two global (GCMs) were used to generate extreme indices for present future over China using ensemble methods. All reasonably captured observed extremes, performance‐based averaging (PEA) outperformed individual model equal‐weighted (MME) control climate. However, noticeable cold deficiencies in temperature extremes found areas with complex...

Abstract Using the results from three global climate models (GCMs) and seven regional (RCMs), summer monsoon changes during 2041–2060 over Indian Peninsula are projected based on Intergovernmental Panel Climate Change A1B emission scenario. For control of 1981–2000, most nested RCMs can improve temporal‐spatial distributions temperature precipitation compared to driving GCM European Centre/Hamburg Fifth Generation (ECHAM5). Most produce advanced onset for climate, which is similar result...

Abstract As part of the Regional Climate Model Intercomparison Project for Asia, future precipitation projection in China is constructed using five regional climate models (RCMs) driven by same global model (GCM) European Centre/Hamburg version 5. The simulations cover both control (1978–2000) and (2041–2070) under Intergovernmental Panel on Change emission scenario A1B. For climate, RCMs have an advantage over driving GCM reproducing summer mean distribution annual cycle. biases simulating...
