Fig. 4: Factors influencing future magnitude changes in extreme precipitation and discharge for different levels of extremeness.

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

Fig. 4

Median relative change [−] in P and Q magnitude per season (ac) and event type (df) 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). Same as Fig. 3, but here for future magnitude changes. Relative changes are computed by comparing event characteristics of a future period (2060–2099) to characteristics of a historical period (1961–2000).
