(Left) cumulative frequency distribution of rain rate derived from (solid) TRMM-PR, (dashed) SEVIRI using CPP-PP, and (dotted) daytime (07:30-16:30 LT) rain gauge observations. Note the logarithmic scaling on the x-axis. The superimposed grey scales for TRMM-PR and SEVIRI denote the standard deviation at each rain rate bin, which was obtained from a bootstrapping technique using 10 000 draws. (Right) corresponding relative frequency distribution for TRMM-PR, SEVIRI, and rain gauge with logarithmic scaling on the y-axis. Results are shown for for (top) 20 • W-20 • E, 20 • S-20 • N and (bottom) 1 •-3 • E, 9 •-14 • N.
