Understanding the cold biases of CMIP5 models over China with weather regimes
Most models in the fifth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) underestimate the surface air temperature over China in both winter and summer. Understanding the weather regime in association with the simulated temperature variability
