| Black carbon anomaly top tercel and bottom tercel from the forcing run timeseries are referenced with grid normalized precipitation anomalies. The corresponding precipitation in the bottom terciles and top terciles are averaged then subtracted to attain composite. Precipitation is in units of mm/day and bc is in units of g/m2. | Seasonal cycle of the difference composite calculated in Figure 7a for the AMI region. Units are mm/day. |

| Rain change due to black carbon.
where c is the correlation coefficient of the normalized anomaly (grid rain vs. domain mean bc), σrain is the grid point standard deviation of rain, σbc is the grid point standard deviation of bc, and bcmean is the grid point mean of bc. Units are in mm/day. |
Percent rain change due to black carbon.
where δrain is previously calculated for each grid point (see left) and rain is mean rain at the grid point. |
