Attribution of changes in the trend and temporal non-uniformity of extreme precipitation events in Central Asia

Abstract Extreme precipitation events exhibit an increasing trend for both the frequency and magnitude on global and regional scales and it has already proven the impact of man-made global warming on the extreme precipitation amplification. Based on the observed datasets and global climate model (GC...
