Approximately 10 years ago, convection‐permitting regional climate models (CPRCMs)
emerged as a promising computationally affordable tool to produce fine resolution (1–4 km) …

Globally, thermodynamics explains an increase in atmospheric water vapor with warming of
around 7%/° C near to the surface. In contrast, global precipitation and evaporation are …

The year 2019 marks the thirtieth anniversary of the development of the first regional climate
model (RCM), and here an overview is provided of the progress in regional modeling …

Abstract Climate Data Records of soil moisture are fundamental for improving our
understanding of long-term dynamics in the coupled water, energy, and carbon cycles over …

Regional climate modeling using convection‐permitting models (CPMs; horizontal grid
spacing< 4 km) emerges as a promising framework to provide more reliable climate …

African society is particularly vulnerable to climate change. The representation of convection
in climate models has so far restricted our ability to accurately simulate African weather …

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

Soil moisture impacts on precipitation have been strongly debated. Recent observational
evidence of afternoon rain falling preferentially over land parcels that are drier than the …

Vegetation modifies land-surface properties, mediating the exchange of energy, moisture,
trace gases, and aerosols between the land and the atmosphere. These exchanges …

A convection-permitting multiyear regional climate simulation using the Met Office Unified
Model has been run for the first time on an Africa-wide domain. The model has been run as …
