‘Super-Parameterization’ – a Better Way to Simulate Regional Extreme Precipitation?

Extreme precipitation is generally underestimated by current climate models relative to observations of present-day rainfall distributions. Possible causes of this systematic error include the convective parameterization in these models that have been designed to reproduce measurements of climatolog...
