Performance-based projection of precipitation extremes over China based on CMIP5/6 models using integrated quadratic distance

The study analyzes the consistency of future precipitation extremes projected over China under moderate climate scenarios (RCP4.5 and SSP2-4.5) and extreme climate scenarios (RCP8.5 and SSP5-8.5), based on best models' ensembles for each extreme index (best-MME), best models' ensembles reg...
