对一个20km高水平分辨率区域气候模式(RegCM3)所模拟的全球变暖背景下,中国区域未来不同强度降水事件变化进行了分析。以日降水量的大小,将降水划分为不同等级。首先检验了模式对当代(1961—1990年)各等级降水日数的模拟能力,结果表明,与观测相比,模式模拟的小雨事件偏多而大雨事件在南方过少。21世纪末(2071—2100年)在IPCC SRES A2温室气体排放情景下,中国区域不同强度降水的变化在各地表现不同,同时其对各个地区降水总量变化的贡献也表现出较大不同,但在大部分地区,模式给出了未来强降水事件将增加的结果。
Based on the multi-decadal climate change simulations from the RegCM3 model with a resolution of 20 km,changes in precipitation events of different intensities in 2071-2100 under the SRES A2 scenario were analyzed.The events were classified to RR1(1-10 mm/d),RR10(10-20 mm/d) and RR20(≥20 mm/d) according to the daily rainfall.Verification of the model performances in simulating present(1961-1990) distribution of the rainy days was firstly carried out.The results show an overestimation of RR1(light rain days) and a general underestimation of RR20(heavy rain days) in southern China by the model as compared to the observations.Under the IPCC SRES A2 scenario in the end of the 21st century(2071-2100),the projection shows different changes in the RR1,RR10 and RR20 events over different areas,with a general increase in heavy rain events over most of China.The slight increase in annual mean rainfall in China is basically contributed by the increase in heavy rain events.
