Figure 1
Total rainfall amount (mm) and mean surface wind vectors (m s−1) of 35 days from 13 Sept to 18 Oct 2010 for the ensemble mean. The 630 sites with daily rainfall observations used in this study are denoted with open dots. Thin solid lines denote the model terrain contours of 500 m interval. Note the different scales for the two rainfall labels.
