Recent trends of mean and extreme precipitation in Korea
- Investigates the spatial and temporal variability of precipitation in Korea using 183 weather station data for 1973–2005
- Results demonstrate that annual precipitation data have a significant positive trend and there is a strong spatial relationship in their variability
- Finds that the increase of annual precipitation is mainly associated with the increase of frequency and intensity of heavy precipitation during summer season
- Finds, however, that precipitation during spring and winter seasons had a decreasing trend
- States that this variation of precipitation is likely to increase flood and drought risk
