Potential changes in precipitation extremes in July–August over China in response to CO 2 doubling are analyzed based on the output of 24 coupled climate models from the Twentieth-Century Climate in Coupled Models (20C3M) experiment and the 1% per year CO 2 increase experiment (to doubling) (1pctto2x) of phase 3 of the Coupled Model Inter-comparison Project (CMIP3). Evaluation of the models’ performance in simulating the mean state shows that the majority of models fairly reproduce the broad spatial pattern...

1. Introduction The global and regional climate changes, espe- cially in extremes, induced by increasing greenhouse gases are important topics of study for the climate re- search community. The World Climate Research Pro- gram’s (WCRP) phase 3 of the Cou
