Future trends of climatic belts and seasons in China

摘要

In this study, the present and future climate under the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) A2 scenario of CO2 emission are simulated by using the Regional Integrated Environment Modeling System (RIEMS). The simulated climatic belts, climatic seasons, and Yellow River ice phenology in China are compared between the present climate during 1975-1984 and the future climate during 2035-2044. The long-term trends of the regional climate are also estimated.
