This presentation will summarize the recent studies of the observed change and variability of East Asian precipitation, with a focus onto the long-term trends of extreme precipitation events over the past six decades in the region.The studies use a data-set of China historical precipitation records from 2400 stations, and an East Asian monthly and daily precipitation dataset of 619 stations recently developed in the National Meteorological Information Center (NMIC), CMA.Based on the percentile thresholds (<50%, 50-80%, 80-95% and >95%), the daily rainfall are classified into four grades of light, moderate, intense and very intense rainfall in East Asian region.For China region, an absolute threshold definition are also used to classify precipitation, with light rain 0.1-10.0mm, moderate rain 10.0-25.0mm, heavy rain 25.0-50.0mm, and rainstorm >50.0mm.The regional average time series are obtained by a method of area-weighted average for the grids.The spatial and temporal patterns of long-term changes in all kinds of precipitation events are analyzed.Main findings are as follows.
