AbstractResults from the multiple‐realization, single‐model ensemble called “d4PDF” were used to generate hydroclimate indices for present and future climates over the Indochina region. The model performed reasonably well in capturing the reference precipitation characteristics of the present climate (1951–2010), in particular the seasonal pattern (e.g., JJA and SON) and intensity‐based indices such as SDII, R95p, Rx1D, and Rx3D. Under the +4 K future simulation conditions for 2051–2110, comprising six prescribed sea‐surface temperature scenarios, substantial and statistically significant increases in precipitation frequency (R10 and R20) and intensity (SDII, Rx1D, and Rx3D) were projected over the Indochinese Peninsula with a high degree of consistency. However, there were greater uncertainties in the changes significance of mean precipitation either during early dry‐season (DJF) or late monsoon (SON) indices demonstrated by results of the parametric U test in some river catchments, such as the Chao Phraya, Red River, central Mekong, lower Irrawaddy, and Salween Basins, where the projection consistencies in a positive change direction were less than 50%. Comparison of basin‐wide empirical probability distributions of precipitation indices pointed to a robust increase in the frequency of the occurrence of heavy precipitation in intensity indices (e.g., Rx1D, Rx3D, and SDII). The relationship between d4PDF precipitation and total runoff generation outputs from the land surface component was investigated. The results show a high degree of temporal correspondence across the region under the present climate in several seasonal and intensity indices, except during the dry period (DJF and MAM). Finally, we found that ε P(P, R) of the annual and seasonal climatological indices of the future climate were always positive and larger than unity, with a median ε P(P, R) of 1.28–2.04. The results strongly reaffirm the role of rainfall as the main driver of runoff changes due to its faster response relative to change in precipitation at the Indochina Region.
