Extended Data Fig. 4: Relative effect of precipitation concentration on terrestrial water storage.
From: More concentrated precipitation decreases terrestrial water storage
Interannual standard deviation of detrended GRACE TWS anomalies (ref. 25), averaged over 100 mm bins of climatological annual precipitation across its global domain (red curve, right vertical axis). Marginal effect of precipitation concentration on TWS, conditional on climatological precipitation (i.e., the effects in Fig. 2b), normalized by TWS standard deviation (blue curves, left vertical axis). This normalization estimates the magnitude of the TWS effect relative to local TWS variability (σTWS), as opposed to in absolute terms (mm, as in Fig. 2b).
