Fig. 8: Hysteresis of LPS and non-LPS originated extreme precipitation.

Spatial patterns of the RD-RU a–e LPS, f–j non-LPS induced total extreme precipitation amounts during a, e June, b, g July, c, h August, d, i September and e, j October from CESM1 28 ensemble simulation averages. Black hatchings indicate regions with statistically significant differences at the 5% level based on a two-sided Student’s t-test. In a, the blue boxes delineate the boundaries for Western Ghats (left box), south-central-east India (right upper box), and Tamil Nadu (right lower box) (only the lands within the boundaries are assigned to the individual regions).
