Reduced Spring Precipitation Bias and Associated Physical Causes over South China in FGOALS-f3 Climate Models:Experiments with the Horizontal Resolutions

Considerable spring precipitation occurs over South China(SC),a region that is adjacent to large-scale Asian topo-graphy and oceans.Its reasonable simulation is crucial for improving regional climate predictability.This study in-vestigates spring precipitation biases over SC and their possible causes in atmosphere-only and coupled Flexi-ble Global Ocean-Atmosphere-Land System finite-volume version 3(FGOALS-f3)models with different horizon-tal resolutions.The performance of spring precipitation simulation over SC varies across different FGOALS-f3 mo-del versions,with the best reproducibility in the high-resolution coupled model(25 km).In the low-resolution atmo-sphere-only model(100-125 km),the precipitation dry bias over SC is closely linked to overestimated surface sens-ible forcing over the eastern Tibetan Plateau(TP),which weakens the subtropical anticyclone over the western Pa-cific(SAWP)through regional circulation responses.By contrast,the high-resolution atmosphere-only model further amplifies surface thermal forcing in the Asian continents,causing intensified land-sea thermal contrast between the Southeast Asian continents and western Pacific,enhanced southerly winds and SAWP,and increased water vapor transport into SC.Meanwhile,the reduced middle-high level cold bias over 10°-30°N in the high-resolution atmo-sphere-only model intensifies the East Asian westerly jet and ascent over SC,leading to enhanced spring precipita-tion there.The high-resolution coupled model simulation not only reduces sea surface cold bias over the Bay of Bengal,thus intensifying the Indian-Burma trough and strengthening low-level water vapor transport into SC,but also enhances ascent over SC.As a result,the high-resolution coupled model better reproduces the magnitude and pattern of spring precipitation over SC than its atmosphere-only model.Compared with low-resolution models,the domain-mean spring precipitation dry bias decreases by 11.2%over SC in the high-resolution atmosphere-only mo-del and by 35.9%in the coupled model.These results demonstrate that the high-resolution FGOALS-f3 models can improve simulations of the influencing atmospheric circulations and spring precipitation over SC.
