Fig. 1: Future changes in precipitation (P) and streamflow (Q) magnitudes for different levels of extremeness overall 78 catchments.
From: An extremeness threshold determines the regional response of floods to changes in rainfall extremes
Relative changes [−] in (a) event frequency and (b) peak magnitude for mean and progressively more extreme events (those with 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 year empirical return intervals, respectively). Relative changes are computed by comparing event characteristics of a future period (2060–2099) to characteristics of a historical period (1961–2000). The gray bar in (b) shows the relative change in event timing (day of the year, negative values indicate earlier extreme event occurrence overall events). Meaning of boxplot elements: central line: median, box limits: upper and lower quartiles, upper whisker: min(max(x), Q3 + 1.5 × IQR), lower whisker: max(min(x), Q1 − 1.5 × IQR), no outliers displayed.
