Fig. 6: Precipitation evolutions and PDFs of precipitation, entraining CAPE, and upstream MSE transport of sensitivity experiments.

a Same as Fig. 2b but for one member each of the RH34 (orange), RH54 (black), and RH74 (green) simulations. The dots represent the initiation times of the first two rainfall peaks. The plus markers represent the maximum precipitation rate of each ensemble member in each peak. b Same as Fig. 2c but for all simulations. c PDFs of entraining CAPE one hour before precipitation occurs for one of the ensemble members over the precipitation hotspots during the first two rainfall peaks. The solid and dashed lines represent the first and the second peaks, respectively. d Same as (c) but for upstream MSE.
