Figure 2. — Anomalous precipitation (mm) patterns 6–7 November 2006 (left column) and 6–7 November 2013 (right column). Anomalies are to the respective monthly averages (a). Moisture transport (streamline) and convergence of moisture transport (shading: 10⁻⁷ s⁻¹) in the 1000–850 hPa level in 2006 and 2013 (b). Moisture convergence is overall in reasonable agreement with precipitation, suggesting that convergence of increased moisture is primarily responsible for precipitation.
