Evidence that extreme rainfall intensity is increasing at the global scale has strengthened
considerably in recent years. Research now indicates that the greatest increases are likely …

Convection‐permitting models (CPMs) have provided weather forecasting centres with a
step‐change in capabilities for forecasting rainfall. They are now used operationally to …

Climate projections at very high resolution (kilometre-scale grid spacing) are becoming
affordable. These 'convection-permitting'models (CPMs), commonly used for weather …

Do Convection-Permitting Regional Climate Models Improve Projections of Future Precipitation
Change? in: Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society Volume 98 Issue 1 (2017) Jump …

A large number of recent studies have aimed at understanding short-duration rainfall
extremes, due to their impacts on flash floods, landslides and debris flows and potential for …

In this paper we define the first Regional Atmosphere and Land (RAL) science configuration
for kilometre-scale modelling using the Unified Model (UM) as the basis for the atmosphere …

Large‐eddy simulations (LES) with the new ICOsahedral Non‐hydrostatic atmosphere
model (ICON) covering Germany are evaluated for four days in spring 2013 using …

Radiative‐convective equilibrium simulations with a 2 km horizontal resolution are
conducted to investigate the impact on convective organization of different …

ICON (ICOsahedral Nonhydrostatic) is a unified modeling system for global numerical
weather prediction (NWP) and climate studies. Validation of its dynamical core against a test …

We investigate the effect of using convection-permitting models (CPMs) spanning a pan-
European domain on the representation of precipitation distribution at a climatic scale. In …
