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 those from the coarse-scale driving models or reanalysis data for simulating/projecting daily and sub-daily precipitation quantiles. Validation of historical design precipitation statistics derived from intensityduration-frequency (IDF) curves shows a better match of the convection-permitting model r... Mehr ...
