Both greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and urban expansion are regarded as importantcontributors to accelerating warming trends. Southeastern China, where Pearl River Delta(PRD) and Yangtze River Delta (YRD) are nestled, is a representative region with mountingconcerns related to anthropogenic warming and the rapid pace of urbanization. Since theseplaces have already experienced thermal discomfort at dangerous levels, it is not farfetched toinfer that further warming will increase the heat stress close to the lethal level of humanadaptability. However, most climate projections are yet to adequately consider future urbangrowth and their synergistic effects under global warming, leading to a potentialunderestimation of the risk of heat-related extremes. This study adopts the latest version of theRegional Climate Model (RegCM) for dynamical downscaling to better resolve geographicallydiverse climate features and then address the aforementioned limitations. Its performance has been improved by optimizing the configurations over target domains and incorporating a newurban module. First, the double-nested modeling system is developed focusing on the PRD andYRD regions, and its capability to capture region-specific climate characteristics is intensivelyevaluated in order to assess the effects of convection-permitting and non-hydrostatic dynamicalcore. Then, the land surface parameterization in RegCM is improved by incorporating abuilding energy model to prognostically account for the interior building temperatures, therebyenhancing the estimation of released anthropogenic heat fluxes into the urban canopy. Finally,the multiple global climate projections forced by both medium as well as high levels emissionscenarios (i.e., RCP4.5 and RCP8.5) are dynamically downscaled using RegCM double-nestedsystem with the improved urban parameterization by prescribing future urban expansiongenerated from different Shared Socio-Economic Pathways (i.e., SSP2 and SSP5). Thecomparative analysis of downscaled results over the PRD and YRD regions will providevaluable insights into the dominance of varied physical processes acting on the targeteddomains as well as the severity of the negative impacts of future warming on human thermalcomfort.
