Abstract
Typhoons are accompanied by strong wind and heavy rains. It causes casualties and property damage on the Korean peninsula every year. The effect of typhoon to daily precipitation should be quantified to prevent the damage of typhoon. Daily precipitation, maximum wind speed and, mean wind speed data was collected from 60 weather stations between 1976 and 2016. The parameters of the generalized extreme value distribution were estimated through the maximum likelihood estimation and the L-moment estimation. The impact of a typhoon can be obtained through a comparison of return levels between the whole data and typhoon excluded data. We conclude that the eastern and southern coastline are exposed to the risk of heavy rainfall which is caused by typhoon.
