Abstract: Many floods caused by heavy rainfalls threatened the world from the end of the 20th century. In this study, the future changes of stochastic parameters of rainfall are investigated in Asian Monsoon regions, using super-high resolution Global Climate Model (GCM). The future changes of rainfall intensity and temporal correlation lengths of rainfall intensity are estimated. The stochastic parameters of TRMM satellite observation are compared with that of the present output. Also, a trial to see the extreme rainfall simulated from GCM is given. The probability distributions of yearly maximum rainfall are examined and compared in the future and present climate. The stochastic characteristics of extreme rainfall estimated from ground rain-gauge data of more than 30 years is used for its evaluation.
