Local impact analysis of climate change on precipitation extremes: are high-resolution climate models needed for realistic simulations?

This study explores whether climate models with higher spatial resolutions provide higher accuracy for precipitation simulations and/or different climate change signals. The outputs from two convection-permitting climate models (ALARO and CCLM) with a spatial resolution of 3–4 km are compared with t...
