Short summary
Extreme precipitation is a major contributor to total precipitation over Antarctica and its variability. We examined changes in total and extreme precipitation from 1979 to 2023 using reanalysis data and large climate model simulations. Significant increases were found across parts of East Antarctica, with external forcings contributing to these trends. Greenhouse gases and stratospheric ozone were identified as important drivers of precipitation increases in East Antarctica.
