Abstract Future precipitation projections rely heavily on climate models, underscoring the need to evaluate their ability to simulate historical precipitation changes. Using multiple atmospheric models and ensemble simulations, we estimate the forced signals driven by sea surface warming and the direct effects …

Abstract Precipitation changes in full response to CO 2 increase are widely studied but confidence in future projections remains low. Mechanistic understanding of the direct radiative effect of CO 2 on precipitation changes, independent from CO 2 ‐induced SST changes, is therefore …

Precipitation changes under global warming are widely studied. However, the direct radiative effect of CO2 on precipitation changes, independent from CO2-induced SST changes, has received less attention. Mechanistic understanding of the CO2 direct effect is therefore important and necessary. Utilizing multiple global …

Future predictions in regional precipitation changes under global warming have heavily relied on the climate model simulations. Understanding the physical mechanisms of future hydroclimate changes in responses to different forcings will help improve our confidence in the model projections. Here we investigated …

Abstract Previous studies have shown that increasing moisture convergence by transient eddies will cause winter precipitation increase in the future over the coastal lands in Eastern North America (ENA) and East Asia (EA). Using moisture budget and composite analyses, we investigate the …

Abstract Previous studies have reported that enhanced eddy moisture convergence causes future increase of winter precipitation in the eastern North America in a warmer climate. This study investigates the mechanisms of the change in moisture convergence. Using ensemble simulations from climate models …

Abstract It has been known that the southwestern United States (US) has experienced a drying trend during spring as climate warms. Less is known about the projected increase of summer precipitation in the region and its physical mechanisms. By using climate model …

Abstract Future changes of regional precipitation are of great scientific and societal interests. Large uncertainties still exist in their projections by models. Mechanistic understanding is therefore necessary. Here we demonstrate robust features of the percentage change of precipitation normalized to surface temperature …
