Extreme precipitation (Baseline)

Extreme precipitation: areas where maximum 1-day precipitation is above 50mm on average per year. Pixels with a value higher than the specified threshold (50mm) were given a value of 1 (YES response)

Historical climate data are an ensemble of outputs from CMIP6 earth system models for the time period 1981-2010
