摘要
This study analyzed the interannual variability of sea surface temperature （SST） over the Pacific in the historical simulation and under the Representative Concentration Pathways （RCPs, including RCP4.5 and RCPS.5） from 27 models archived in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 （CMIPS）. Its association with the Asian-Pacific oscillation （APO） was also investigated.The evaluation results showed that the multi-model ensemble mean （MME） and most of the individual models perform well in reproducing the relatively stronger interannual variability of SST over the North Pacific and tropical eastern Pacific. They can also capture reasonably well the observed in-phase and out-of-phase relationships of the APO with the SST in the above two regions, respectively. Under the RCP4.5 and RCPS.5 scenarios, the interannual variability of the SST over the North Pacific and the tropical eastern Pacific is projected by the MME to be weakened during 2050-99 compared to 1950-99. The majority of the CMIP5 models show the same projection as the MME. Besides, the MME projection indicates that the present relationship between the APO and the SST over those two regions would still be dominant under both RCPs. However, considerable discrepancies exist in the changes of the relationships among the individual models.
基于27个CMIP5模式的模拟数据,评估了模式对太平洋海表温度年际变率及其与亚洲-太平洋涛动关系的模拟能力,并预估了其在RCP4.5和RCP8.5情景下的未来变化。评估结果表明,大多数模式和多模式集合能很好的再现观测中北太平洋和热带东太平洋海表温度的强年际变率,其与亚洲-太平洋涛动的同位相和反位相变化关系也能成功模拟出。多模式集合预估显示,与1950-99年相比,2050-99年期间北太平洋和热带东太平洋海表温度的年际变率在RCP4.5和RCP8.5情景下将减弱。大多数模式的预估结果与此相一致。此外,多模式集合预估还表明,当今亚洲-太平洋涛动与北太平洋和热带东太平洋海表温度的年际关系在RCP4.5和RCP8.5情景下仍存在,不过单模式的预估结果具有明显差异。
