英文摘要 | Under global warming, the summer surface air temperature (SAT) change signal in the northern mid-latitudes is generally the most significant, while the SAT change in North China (NC) shows distinct local characteristics. Using simulations from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 and observation from Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature, this study reveals an unusually weak signal of summer SAT change in NC since the 1960s. This uniquely weak signal can be attributed to the small net contribution of external forcings, mainly from anthropogenic greenhouse gases (GHG) and aerosols (AA). Compared to other land regions in the same latitudinal band, the GHG-induced warming was weaker and AA-induced cooling was stronger in NC, resulting in the weakest SAT change signal and thus the lowest signal-to-noise ratio. This weaker GHG-induced warming plays a more important role in the SAT change difference between NC and other land regions in the same latitudinal zone. Under different emission scenarios in the future, the signal-to-noise ratio in NC will become as large as those in the other land regions in the same latitudinal band and the northern hemisphere, which is partly due to the smaller relative differences in the SAT change signal between NC and the other two regions. The projections of SAT change indicate that climate change in NC will probably become more violent and vulnerable. Understanding the surface air temperature change characteristics in North China is of great concern to policy-makers due to its profound impact on society, the economy, and human beings. This study reveals an unusually weak summer surface air temperature change signal in North China since the 1960s. This uniquely weak signal can be attributed to the small net contribution of external forcings, mainly from stronger AA-induced cooling and weaker GHG-induced warming in North China. image |
