Fig. 3: Comparison between urban and buffer regions based on long-term statistical properties of encountered snow-dominated precipitation events.
From: Imprint of urbanization on snow precipitation over the continental USA
Frequency distribution of differences (buffer − urban) in a annual average precipitation delivered by snow-dominated precipitation events with snow probability >50% (SDE50), b annual average percentage (%) of precipitation that is delivered by SDE50, c annual average frequency of encountered SDE50, and d annual average intensities of precipitation delivered by SDE50, for the selected 4856 UBPs. Notably, an overwhelming percentage (99%) of buffer regions encounter higher frequency of SDE50 but the average intensity of these events is smaller in 97% of them. Source data are provided in Source_data.xlsx, on the sheet called Main_figure_3.
