Extended Data Fig. 3: Sensitivity to percentile in the definition of extremes.

From: Super-Clausius–Clapeyron scaling of extreme precipitation explained by shift from stratiform to convective rain type

Extended Data Fig. 3

Analogous to Fig. 2a but using the 90th (a), 95th (b), 99.5th (c), and 99.9th percentiles (d), thus modifying the percentile used to define extreme precipitation. Data are presented as the 90th (respectively 95th, 99.5th, 99.9th) percentile with 95% confidence intervals (shadings) estimated using a non-parametric method based on the binomial distribution and its normal approximation for large sample sizes (Details: Methods). Note the change in y-axis range between panels a, b and panels c, d.
