Relative contributions of urbanization and greenhouse gases concentration on future climate over Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region in China

Zhiyuan Zheng et al.

Summary: The study investigated the effects of urbanization and greenhouse gases on future climate in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. It found that atmospheric circulation and GHGs were the dominant factors, while urbanization had a minor impact on the regional climate. On a local scale, LULC changes in urban areas had a noticeable effect on city climates through altering land-atmosphere interactions.

Quantifying the Contribution of Urbanization to Summer Extreme High-Temperature Events in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Urban Agglomeration

Yujie Wang et al.

Summary: This study quantifies the contribution of urbanization to extreme high-temperature events in Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei. The research finds that urbanization has significantly increased the intensity and frequency of these events, especially in larger cities. Therefore, it is crucial to limit the rate of urbanization and implement effective strategies for adaptation and mitigation in order to sustain development.

Global multi-model projections of local urban climates

Lei Zhao et al.

Summary: Under a high-emissions scenario, cities in the United States, Middle East, northern Central Asia, northeastern China, and inland South America and Africa are estimated to experience substantial warming of more than 4 K by the end of the century. Our findings highlight the critical need for global multi-model projections of local urban climates to support climate-sensitive development and reduce urban heat stress through green infrastructure intervention.

Future Changes in Extreme High Temperature over China at 1.5°C-5°C Global Warming Based on CMIP6 Simulations

Guwei Zhang et al.

Summary: This study assesses future extreme high temperature (EHT) changes in China at different global warming thresholds based on the CMIP6 model. The results show that northern China will experience the most significant temperature increase, while southern China will see the most profound increase in warm days. Limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius can help avoid 36%-87% of EHT increases in China.

Numerical Investigation and Uncertainty Analysis of Eastern China's Large-Scale Urbanization Effect on Regional Climate

Jiping Quan et al.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of urbanization on precipitation in eastern China using the WRF model, showing a significant decrease in precipitation in North China due to reduced evaporation and latent heating, and an increase in precipitation to the south of the large-scale urbanization areas due to circulation changes. The study also highlighted the importance of urban fraction in determining the intensity of urbanization effects within urban areas.

Bias-corrected CMIP6 global dataset for dynamical downscaling of the historical and future climate (1979-2100)

Zhongfeng Xu et al.

Summary: Dynamical downscaling is crucial for fine-scale weather and climate information, but simulations are often affected by biases in large-scale forcing. A bias-corrected global dataset was developed, showing better quality and practical value for future Earth climate projections.

Responses of extreme high temperatures to urbanization in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration in the context of a changing climate

Yujie Wang et al.

Summary: The study reveals a significant increase in extreme high-temperature events in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region in recent decades, with high-temperature days, hot night days, and heatwave durations showing notable increases. The contribution of urbanization to high-temperature indices varies depending on city size and location, and controlling population, city size, and reducing energy consumption can effectively mitigate urban heat island effects.
