Fig. 2: Spatial pattern of differences in extreme rainfall occurrences (represented by number of hours with rain rate exceeding 10 mm/h) between each urban scenario and the “no-city” scenario.
From: Urban development pattern’s influence on extreme rainfall occurrences
a Circular, (b) Ribbon, (c) Satellite, (d) Edge, (e) Scatter. The averaged change ratio, i.e., represented as (Rurban-Rno-city)/(Rurban+Rno-city), within urban boundary and its buffering regions is shown in (f). The contours in (a)–(e) highlight the urban footprint for each scenario.
