Figure 1

A concept diagram of categorizing severities of changes in extreme precipitation: (a) the confidence intervals (CI) of the NOAA Atlas 14, the upper, median (red line), and lower bounds, and (b) a range of severities categorized by four categories, minor, moderate, major, and extreme. In the panel (b), the blue line demonstrates an example of an intensity-frequency curve for an hour duration (i.e., precipitation frequency estimates) categorized to moderate severity.
