The non-stationary characteristics of the annual maximum 1-day series (AMS1) were detected, and the non-stationary GEV model which used the time as a covariate to the location parameter is utilized for non-stationary AMS1. The results showed that: 1) The shape parameters of the AMS1 are all bigger than 0, and follow the Fréchet distribution; the spatial distribution of the GEV location and scale parameters are quite consistent with each other, but the spatial distribution of shape parameters is not consistent with them. 2) The confidence interval given by Profile methods are more accurate for longer return periods in comparison to Delta method, and evident asymmetry appears in the return level’s Profile log-likelihood curve for longer rerun periods. 3) The spatial pattern of the extreme precipitation for different return periods are obtained, and the patterns are in line with the patterns of the location and scale parameters, but are different from the pattern of shape parameters. 4) The time-varying return levels (effective return level) for different return periods are obtained from the non-stationary GEV model of Ganxian Station. The return level of 100 years in 1951 will decrease to 50 years in 2010 for AMS1, which indicates greater risk for extreme precipitation and flood disasters in the future. %U https://www.jnr.ac.cn/EN/10.11849/zrzyxb.20151336
