Extended Data Fig. 3: Rainfall and wet removal amount.

From: Disproportionate control on aerosol burden by light rain

Extended Data Fig. 3

Amount distributions of (a) total rainfall and (b) wet removal of all aerosols by different rainfall intensities over (20°N, 50°N). GPM, TRMM, CAM5 and STOC are denoted by gray, black, blue and red lines, respectively. The total rainfall rate in the range from 0.1 to 1000 mm d−1 is logarithmically scaled, with equal bin width of \({\Delta}\ln \left( R \right) = {\Delta}R/R = 0.1\). Numbers in parentheses are regional mean aerosol wet deposition rates, which equal areas under respective curves.
