Figure 5: US trends (1910-1996)
in mean precipitation (in percent change per century) for various categories
of daily precipitation intensity. Values are plotted for each 5%, such that
5 represents from the lowest to 5th percentile and 95 represents the 95th
to highest. The lowest to 5th percentile are the lightest daily precipitation
amounts and the 95th to highest are the heaviest daily amounts (Karl and
Knight, 1998).
