The spatial distributions of mean rainfall (mm day−1) in (a) the observation datasets GPCP and (b) CMORPH, averaged from 11th June to 9th July in 2020. The spatial distributions of mean rainfall difference (mm day−1) between (c) U60 km and CMORPH; (d) V4 km and U60 km; (e) U3 km and U60 km. The two regions surrounded by red dotted line in a-e indicate the primary rainbelt over the northern India (72.5–92.5oE, 15–25oN) and the secondary rainbelt over the equatorial Indian Ocean (EIO; 50–100oE, 0–10oS) respectively. f The mean rainfall averaged over two rainbelts in observations and experiments above. The area enclosed by the black solid line in d is in a resolution of ~4 km, the area outside the black dotted line is in a resolution of ~60 km, and the area between two lines is the transition zone.
