KAIST: Late-Summer Rain Belt Has Moved About 200 km North, Raising the Risk of Concurrent Heavy Rain and Heat in Korea (IMAGE)
Caption
Figure 2. Response of frontal precipitation and heat stress (WBGT) to changes in frontal position. During the active frontal season (a, c), when the front shifts north, the rain belt moves north and heat stress rises across East Asia south of 40°N. In late summer (b, d), frontal precipitation increases over a concentrated area of the Korean Peninsula, and a band centered on the peninsula forms in which heat stress rises by more than 0.4°C per standard deviation of northward frontal displacement. Hatching indicates areas that are statistically significant at the 95% confidence level. (Fig. 4 in the original paper)
