Temperature and Precipitation Assessment and Extreme Climate Events Prediction based on the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 over the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau
The Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) provides reliable scientific data for predicting ecology, hydrology and climate under the backdrop of global change.However, there are large biases in current climate models, especially on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau (QXP).In this study, we employed Detrended Quantile Mapping (DQM) and Quantile Delta Mapping (QDM) methods to correct and evaluate the precipitation and temperature data of eight CMIP6 models with better simulation performance, utilizing the China Meteorological Forcing Dataset (CMFD).The results showed that Both methods had corrected the simulation biases of the models, and the correction effects for temperature and precipitation data over the QXP were relatively consistent between the two methods.Then, based on the corrected multi-model ensemble mean (MME) results from QDM method, we analyzed the spatial and temporal variation characteristics of extreme high temperature events, low temperature events, atmospheric dryness and precipitation over the QXP in the early 21st century (2015 -2057) and later 21st century (2058-2100).Under different emission scenarios in the future, extreme high temperature events strengthen, especially in the southeast of the QXP.Extreme high temperature events enhance with the increase of radiation.Extreme low temperature events decrease, with no occurrence in the later 21st century under high emission scenarios (SSP370 and SSP585).Under different emission scenarios, precipitation and saturated vapor pressure difference both exhibit a significant increasing trend on the QXP.With global warming, the increase of precipitation does not mitigate atmospheric drought.The atmospheric dryness increases significantly under the future scenarios, especially in summer, at 1.3 to 2 times compared to annual average.
