In recent decades,an increasing number of extreme climate events,especially extreme precipitation events,occurred under the background of global warming.Based on daily precipitation data from the US Climate Prediction Center,this paper analyzed spatial distribution and temporal variation of extreme precipitation events(including RX1day,RX5day,R10mm,R20mm,CDD) over the Eurasian continent during 1979 and 2018.The results was summarized as follows:1)As for the spatial distribution,large PRCPTOT prevailed over the South Europe,South Asia,Southeast Asia and East Asia,along with frequent extreme heavy precipitation events (i.e.,RX1day,RX5day,R10mm,R20mm) over these sub-regions.In addition,the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau,Central China and Mongolia in East Asia,the Indian subcontinent in South Asia and some parts of Central and West Asia,North Europe underwent high frequency of continuous drought and relatively fewer extreme heavy precipitation events.2)An interdecadal increase of PRCPTOT occurred in Southeast Asia,South Asia,East Asia,North Asia,West Asia and Southern Europe since the beginning of the 21st century with significant long-term upward trend during the whole period.Moreover,all RX1day,RX5day,R10 and R20 showed an interdecadal increase after the mid-1990s over South Asia,East Asia and central Asia with a long-term increasing tendency.Additionally,CDD showed a significant increase in South Asia,North Asia,East Asia and Central Asia in the 1980s,but the long-term trend was not obvious;It is notable that extreme heavy precipitation events significantly increased in Southeast Asia,South Asia and East Asia,while CDD occurred increasingly over North Europe since 2014.
