Simulation outcomes from climate models for four potent typhoons (Sanba, Chaba, Maysak, and Haishen) that recently hit the Korean Peninsula under two conditions: current climate condition including all anthropogenic and natural factors (ALL) and counterfactual condition devoid of anthropogenic warming effects (NAT)

[Left] Probability distribution of typhoon 6-hour precipitation (% grid)

- The bar graph illustrates the likelihood of rainfall extremes.

- The extreme precipitation area is expanded by 16 to 37% due to global warming.

[Right] Spatial distribution of typhoon precipitation (500 km radius) under ALL conditions and its difference from NAT results (in mm/6 hours)

- The enhanced precipitation resulting from global warming tends to concentrate within the central region of the typhoon.
