Fig. 3: Factors influencing future frequency changes in extreme precipitation and discharge magnitudes for different levels of extremeness.

From: An extremeness threshold determines the regional response of floods to changes in rainfall extremes

Fig. 3

Median relative change [−] in P and Q frequency per season (a–c) and event type (d–f) across all, low-elevation, and high-elevation catchments for mean and progressively more extreme events (those with 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 year 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).
