Inconsistent Responses of Hot Extremes to Historical Land Use and Cover Change Among the Selected CMIP5 Models

Land use and cover change (LUCC) is an important anthropogenic forcing of the climate system. Previous studies have demonstrated that LUCC significantly impacts both mean and extreme temperatures. In this study, we explored the multimodel performance of simulating LUCC‐induced asymmetric effects on the different percentiles of maximum temperatures ( T max ) as well as the possible reasons for these effects using results from the fifth phase of...
