 FIGURE E4.
                   Areal estimates of monthly mean
                  precipitation amounts (mm, red lines) and precipitation percentiles 
                 (%, bars) for the most recent 13 months obtained from a merge of
                 raingauge observations and satellite-derived precipitation estimates (Janowiak
                 and Xie 1999, J. Climate, 12, 3335-3342). The monthly
                 precipitation climatology (mm, blue lines) is from the 1981-2010 
                 base period monthly means. Monthly percentiles are not shown if the
                 monthly mean is less than 5 mm.
