Abstract

Southern Thailand has experienced significant shifts in precipitation patterns in recent years, exerting substantial impacts on regional water resources and infrastructure systems. This study aims to elucidate these changes and underlying factors based on daily precipitation observations from Nakhon Si Thammarat Province spanning 1980 to 2022. Additionally, data from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) is utilized to investigate projected changes in precipitation for 2015–2100 relative to the historical period (1980–2014), employing a comprehensive analysis considering two emissions scenarios (SSP245 and SSP585) across six models. Various precipitation indices are selected to assess trends and statistical significance using the Mann-Kendall test. Both observed and climate model data indicate an increasing precipitation trend in Southern Thailand, with a reduced association with the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) under warming conditions. Extreme precipitation indices also exhibit an increasing trend, with total precipitation and the 95th percentile of daily precipitation (R95p) revealing very wet conditions in recent years, projected to continue increasing. Contrastingly, the number of dry days is also mounting, suggesting that both dry and wet extremes will impact Southern Thailand under a warmer climate. The findings from this study provide an early indication of future precipitation and extreme event scenarios, which can inform the development of measures to mitigate climate change-related hazards in the region.

利用 CMIP6 模型预测泰国南部极端降水量的变化
近年来,泰国南部的降水模式发生了重大变化,对地区水资源和基础设施系统产生了重大影响。本研究旨在根据 1980 年至 2022 年期间呵坤府的日降水量观测数据,阐明这些变化及其背后的因素。此外,本研究还利用耦合模式相互比较项目第 6 阶段(CMIP6)的数据来研究 2015-2100 年降水量相对于历史时期(1980-2014 年)的预测变化,采用了一项综合分析,考虑了六种模式中的两种排放情景(SSP245 和 SSP585)。采用 Mann-Kendall 检验法选择各种降水指数来评估趋势和统计意义。观测数据和气候模式数据都表明,泰国南部的降水量呈上升趋势,在气候变暖的条件下,与厄尔尼诺-南方涛动(ENSO)的关联性降低。极端降水指数也呈上升趋势,总降水量和日降水量的第 95 百分位数(R95p)显示,近年来泰国南部的降水非常湿润,预计还将继续增加。与此形成鲜明对比的是,干旱天数也在增加,这表明在气候变暖的情况下,极端干旱和极端潮湿天气都将对泰国南部产生影响。这项研究的结果提供了未来降水和极端事件情景的早期迹象,可为制定措施减轻该地区与气候变化相关的危害提供参考。
