Ratios of moisture uptake over each source region to the total moisture release in the CLP for the P95th–P100th summer rainfall during 1979–2009 (unit: %). The ratios of the moisture finally released in the CLP and the unreleased moisture plus the moisture loss en route are represented in black and grey bars, respectively. The abbreviations of the source region are as follows: NCEC stands for northwestern China–eastern central Asia, CE for central eastern China, SCS for the South China Sea, ECS for the East China Sea, AS for the Arabian Sea, and BOB for the Bay of Bengal.
