Seasonal and Regional Differences in Extreme Rainfall Events and Their Contribution to the World’s Precipitation: GPM Observations

Figure 3

Spatial distribution of deepest (in depth, km) extreme rainfall events over the globe based in the maximum height of 40 dBZ. (a–c) The distribution of deepest extreme rainfall events in each 1° × 1° box; (d) the actual geographical locations of deepest extreme rainfall events. Color bar in (a)–(c) shows the number of extreme rainfall events. (d) The green color refers to the top 0.1% deepest PFs, whereas magenta refers to the top 0.01% deepest extreme rainfall events.
