The historical simulations and projections under different Representative Concentration Pathways(RCPs)from coupled climate models in CMIP5(Taylor,Stouffer,and Meehl2012)are analyzed.The models used in the construction of the analysis fields given in this study vary with the research focus,since we hope to use as many model results as possible to reduce the uncertainties.As summarized in Table1,data from 24 models are used to calculate the regional average annual mean surface air temperature(SAT)and precipitation under all four RCP scenarios(RCP2.6,RCP4.5,RCP6.0,and RCP8.5),shown in Figure 2.The projected SAT under two RCPs(RCP4.5 and RCP8.5)is derived from 40CMIP5 climate/earth system models(Table 1)and used to calculate the 1.5 and 2°C threshold-crossing times shown in Figure 3.Taking 2°C warming for example,this is defined as the SAT anomalies larger than 2°C relative to the mean state during 1861–1890 in the historical simulation.To reduce the uncertainty in calculating the threshold-crossing time due to interannual variability,a nine-year running average is used to smooth the time series of SAT anomalies.Then,the 2°C threshold-crossing time is defined as thefirst year when the SAT anomalies reach 2°C.The model outputs are remapped onto a 5°×5°grid by bilinear interpolation for reliable large-scale information.
