Figure 2 Correlation coefficients of rainfall characteristic indices
Note: * indicates the correlation coefficient has a significance level p<0.05.
Figure 3 The diagram of total within-cluster variance sum (Var_total) versus cluster number (K)
Notes: The number on the broken line between K=i and K=i+1 (1≤i≤7) represents the decreasing rate of Var_total with K increasing from i to i+1, which is noted as Var_total(i)^*. The number within the bracket represents the difference between Var_total(i+1)^* and Var_total(i)^*, which is noted as Var_total(i+1)^#. The red point represents the optimal cluster number K, which is the elbow inflection point of the curve with the minimum Var_total(K=3)^#.
Figure 4 Distribution of rainfall characteristic indices for three rainfall types
Notes: Boxes represent the ranges from the 25th to the 75th quartiles, whiskers represent the ranges from the minimum to the maximum, and dots and lines in boxes represent the averages and the medians, respectively.
Figure 5 Distribution of normalized flash flood behavior indices induced by three rainfall types
Notes: The flash flood behavior indices are normalized using $Y*=\frac{Y-{{Y}_{\min }}}{{{Y}_{\max }}-{{Y}_{\min }}},$ where Y* and Y are values before and after normalization, respectively; Y_max and Y_min are the maximum and the minimum, respectively. Boxes represent the ranges from the 25th to the 75th quartiles, whiskers represent the ranges from the minimum to the maximum, and dots and lines in boxes represent the averages and the medians, respectively.
