Schematic Framework for CMIP6 Evaluation of Multiyear El Niño and Spring Precipitation over Southern China

Caption

This graphical abstract summarizes the evaluation of CMIP6 historical simulations in representing multiyear El Niño events and their impacts on spring precipitation over southern China. While most models reproduce the occurrence of multiyear El Niño events, notable biases remain in their frequency, duration, and associated precipitation patterns. The E3SM-1-0 model shows relatively better performance, capturing the observed precipitation increase linked to realistic moisture transport and uplift processes.
