Anthropogenic influence of temperature changes across East Asia using CMIP6 simulations.

ABSTRACT: The present study explores the impact of anthropogenic forcings (ANT) on surface air temperatures (SATs) across East Asia (EA) over a long period (1850-2014) using the new Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) datasets. Based on CMIP6 multi-model ensemble simulations, the historical simulations (twentieth century) and future (twenty-first century) SAT projections were investigated. Our calculations show that during 1850-2014, the combination of ANT and natural (NAT) ('ALL = ANT + NAT') forcings increased the EA's SAT by 0.031 °C/decade, while a high increase of 0.08 °C/decade due to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The ANT forcing rapidly increased after 1969. As a result, SAT change was enhanced at a rate of 0.268 °C/decade and 0.255 °C/decade due to GHG and ALL forcings, r
