Inconsistent variation of return periods of temperature extremum in China and its projection based on CMIP6 results

Abstract Increasingly extreme temperature events under global warming can have considerable impacts on sectors such as industrial activities, health, and transportation, suggesting that risk for these kinds of events under climate change and its regional sensitivity should be reassessed. In this stu...
