Evaluation and projection of summer extreme precipitation over East Asia in the Regional Model Inter-comparison Project

Compared to mean climate conditions, extreme climate and weather are more likely to lead to major disasters. Consecutive periods of little or no precipitation can cause water shortages and drought, while heavy precipitation, which often happens in a short period such as torrential rain, may cause flooding and soil erosion An increase in extreme precipitation has been widely reported from both observations and model simulations under global warming circumstances (
