Portrait plot of the observed and simulated standard deviations of the mean diurnal cycle σmdc, daily mean σdm, and irregular subdaily σisd precipitation variance (mm day−1) in four seasons averaged over global, global land areas, global ocean areas, and CONUS during the period of 1980–2014. MSWEPV2 (25 km) and MSWEPV2 (50 km) are results from interpolating the original MSWEPV2 dataset onto grids with 25- and 50-km resolutions, respectively. All other datasets are interpolated onto the same AM4 grids.
