Unravelling the relationship between extreme precipitation duration and wet-day frequency at global scale
Following the methodology established in previous work that classified geographical grid cells based on wet-day frequency with a wet-day threshold of 1 mm/day, we partition global areas into six wet-day frequency bins (see Fig. 1a). Areas with…
