The characteristics of tropical cyclone (TC) activity over five TC basins lying within four Coordinated Regional Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX) domains are examined for present and future climate conditions using a new ensemble of simulations completed as part of the CORDEX-CORE initiative with the regional climate model RegCM4. The simulations are conducted at a 25 km horizontal grid spacing and are driven by three CMIP5 general circulation models (GCMs) under two Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP2.6 and RCP8.5). The RegCM4 captures most features of the observed TC climatology, except for the TC intensity, which is thus statistically adjusted using a bias correction procedure to account for the effect of the coarse model resolution. The RegCM4 exhibits an improved simulation of several TC statistics compared to the driving GCMs, over most basins analyzed. In future climate conditions we find significant increases in TC frequency over the North Indian Ocean, the Northwest Pacific and Eastern Pacific regions, which are consistent with an increase in mid-tropospheric relative humidity. The North Atlantic and Australasia regions show a decrease in TC frequency, mostly associated with an increase in wind shear. We also find a consistent increase in future storm rainfall rates associated with TCs and in the frequency of the most intense TCs over most domains. Our study shows robust responses often, but not always, in line with previous studies, still implying the presence of significant uncertainties in the projection of TC characteristics, which need to be addressed using large ensembles of simulations with high-resolution models.

RegCM4 CORDEX-CORE模拟对多个CORDEX域上热带气旋活动的未来预测

使用作为区域CORDEX-CORE计划的一部分而完成的新模拟合集,对四个和四个区域协调尺度缩小实验(CORDEX)域内五个TC盆地的热带气旋(TC)活动的特征进行了检查,以了解当前和未来的气候条件。气候模式RegCM4。模拟是在25 km的水平网格间距上进行的,并由两个CMIP5普通循环模型(GCM)在两个代表性浓度路径(RCP2.6和RCP8.5)下进行驱动。RegCM4捕获了观测到的TC气候的大多数特征,但TC强度除外,因此可以使用偏差校正程序对统计强度进行统计调整,以解决粗略模型分辨率的影响。与行驶的GCM相比,RegCM4展示了多种TC统计数据的改进仿真,在大多数盆地上进行了分析。在未来的气候条件下,我们发现北印度洋,西北太平洋和东太平洋地区的TC频率显着增加,这与对流层中层相对湿度的增加是一致的。北大西洋和大洋洲地区的TC频率下降,主要与风切变的增加有关。我们还发现,与TC相关的未来暴雨降雨率以及大多数领域中最密集的TC的频率持续增加。我们的研究显示出经常但并非总是与以前的研究一致的强有力的响应,仍然暗示着TC特性的投影中存在明显的不确定性,这需要使用具有高分辨率模型的大量模拟来解决。在未来的气候条件下,我们发现北印度洋,西北太平洋和东太平洋地区的TC频率显着增加,这与对流层中层相对湿度的增加是一致的。北大西洋和大洋洲地区的TC频率下降,主要与风切变的增加有关。我们还发现,与TC相关的未来暴雨降雨率以及大多数领域中最密集的TC的频率持续增加。我们的研究显示出经常但并非总是与以前的研究一致的强有力的响应,仍然暗示着TC特性的投影中存在明显的不确定性,这需要使用具有高分辨率模型的大量模拟来解决。在未来的气候条件下,我们发现北印度洋,西北太平洋和东太平洋地区的TC频率显着增加,这与对流层中层相对湿度的增加是一致的。北大西洋和大洋洲地区的TC频率下降,主要与风切变的增加有关。我们还发现,与TC相关的未来暴雨降雨率以及大多数领域中最密集的TC的频率持续增加。我们的研究显示出经常但并非总是与以前的研究一致的强有力的响应,仍然暗示着TC特性的投影中存在明显的不确定性,这需要使用具有高分辨率模型的大量模拟来解决。
