a–c the event numbers of InCPE, MoCPE, WeCPE; (d–f) the fractions (%) of HR-, MR-, LR-producing InCPEs in all InCPEs; (g–i) the fractions of HR-, MR-, LR-producing MoCPEs in all MoCPEs; (j–l) the fractions of HR-, MR-, LR-producing WeCPEs in all WeCPEs. In (d–l), only grids with more than 20 events are plotted. Black boxes indicate the regions of southern North America (115°W–76°W, 10°N–40°N), the Amazon (80°W–50°W, 20°S–6°N), Central Africa (5°E–35°E, 10°S–10°N), southern Asia (67°E–108°E, 6°N–25°N), southeastern China (108°E–122°E, 19°N–37°N) and the maritime continent islands (96°E–150°E, 9°S–6°N).
