Exposure of the US population to extreme precipitation risk has increased due to climate change by Jungho Kim, Jeremy Porter, Edward J. Kearns

“…Here, we address how severe the change in extreme precipitation compares against the current national standard for precipitation climatology (NOAA Atlas 14) and how much of the population is affected by the underestimation of this risk in the contiguous United States (CONUS). As a result, extreme precipitation in the early twenty-first century has outpaced our current national standard in half of CONUS, and the heavy precipitation events experienced recently are quickly becoming a “new normal”, which will increase in severity and frequency in a continually changing climate. …”
