To explore the driving mechanisms of elevation-dependent warming (EDW) over the Tibetan Plateau (TP), the output from a suite of numerical experiments with different cumulus parameterization schemes (CPs) under the Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiments-East Asia (CORDEX-EA-II) project is examined. Results show that all experiments can broadly capture the observed temperature distributions over the TP with consis...

Two circulation index‐based methods were applied to downscale summer daily rainfall at four meteorological stations in Chongqing, China. One is a regression method ( CIM ) and the other a hybrid circulation classification plus regression method ( CPM ). Both methods used the same three circulation indices and surface specific humidity as predictors. In the first method ( CIM ), the indices and humidity were used directly as pr...
