Number of data points in a 10°  × 10° mesh used to obtain Figs. 6, 8 , 9 and 11. a No-rain at the satellite footprints at 120 km altitude along geomagnetic field in both hemispheres, i.e., at P1 and P2 in Fig. 1. b Weak rainfall (< 5 mm/h) at least one of the footprints but no heavy rainfall. c Heavy rainfall (> 5 mm/h) at least one of the footprints, P1 and/or P2. About 130 data points correspond to one satellite path. Note that the color scale for c is 10 times smaller than that for a and b
