Climate simulations at convection-permitting scale

Image
Climate simulations over Europe, at convection-permitting scale! Regional climate simulations are run at ever higher resolution, gradually reaching convection-permitting scales. Some years ago a number of research institutes have agreed to create a convection-permitting ensemble over Europe. Here you find the first paper that has come out of this collaborative endeavor. It discusses the setup of the project, and some first results. These include a description of the ensemble performance of three test cases. The abstract is given below. A first-of-its-kind multi-model convection permitting ensemble for investigating convective phenomena over Europe and the Mediterranean.
