| Zusammenfassung |
| This study investigates the formation mechanisms of the extreme temperatures and the
extreme precipitation in the future Korean Peninsula due to global warming. CORDEX-East
Asia data such as the 2 m air temperature, precipitation, sea level pressure, 850 hPa wind, 850
hPa temperature, and 850 hPa specific humidity are analyzed to characterize atmospheric
conditions related to future extreme events. The extreme temperatures (>38 °C ) in the
mid-southern regions of Korea tend to occur as a result of the heat accumulation by the
warm advection originating from eastern China. Adding to advection, the Föhn
phenomenon seems to produce more warming. In the case of precipitation, extreme events
(>500 mm day-1) tend to occur as a result of the transport of water vapor by the
south-westerly flow, with precipitation belt stretching from eastern China to Korea. A climate
change also leads to an increase in the mean, variance, frequency, and 95 percentile
value of the extreme events. This study will facilitate a better understanding of the
formation mechanisms of the extreme events over Korea in a warming environment. |
