 FIGURE E3.
                   Anomalous precipitation (mm, top) and
                  precipitation percentiles based on a Gamma distribution fit to the
                  1981-2010 base period data (bottom). Data are obtained
                  from a merge of raingauge observations and satellite-derived
                  precipitation estimates (Janowiak and Xie 1999, J. Climate, 12,
                  3335-3342). Percentiles are not plotted in regions where
                  mean monthly precipitation is <5mm/month.
