摘要

The ‘emergence year’ Ye is defined as the start of a future period during which precipitation consistently exceeds the maximum value of the past historical period. Emergence years of future anthropogenic changes in annual average precipitation (Pav) and annual maximum 1-day precipitation (P1d) were projected using high-resolution global atmospheric models with 20-km and 60-km grid-size for the period 1950-2099. A total of 10,000 randomized time series representing the time evolution of decadal natural variability enabled us to directly evaluate estimated frequency distributions (EDFs) on a grid point basis. Ye for both Pav and P1d generally occur earlier at high latitudes than they are elsewhere, and Ye(P1d) is generally later than Ye(Pav). Ye(P1d) covers a larger area than Ye(Pav) does and Ye(P1d) may occur earlier in the tropics and mid-latitudes than Ye(Pav). Ye occurs earlier in scenarios with higher anthropogenic emissions than in scenarios with lower emissions.
