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

Figure 6

Spatial distribution of largest, deepest, and intense extreme rainfall events over South America (upper rows) and South Asia (bottom rows) during December to March (DJFM) and June to September (JJAS) months, respectively. The different seasons are mentioned in the Y-axis. The first, second, third, fourth, and fifth columns are for the largest extreme rainfall events based on area, deepest extreme rainfall events based on maximum height of 20 dBZ, deepest extreme rainfall events based on maximum height of 40 dBZ, largest extreme rainfall events based on the quantity of volumetric rainfall, and intense extreme rainfall events based on the rain rate.
