From: Unveiling the dynamics of sequential extreme precipitation-heatwave compounds in China

a The three-dimensional plots depict the joint probability distribution of extreme precipitation intensity and heatwave intensity from 1975–2020; b the three-dimensional plot representing the joint return period distribution of extreme precipitation intensity and heatwave intensity, and c the contour plot of return periods for different years in China (2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 years).
