Evaluation of the WRF Double-Moment 6-Class Microphysics Scheme for Precipitating Convection (2010, methodology): “As an example, the WRF model with the WSM6 microphysics has provided useful information on high-resolution weather phenomena over the Great Plains in the US [7, 8].”
Added value of convection permitting seasonal simulations (2013, background): “In numerical weather prediction (NWP) convection resolving models are already widely used for operational forecasts and research purposes (e.g., Mass et al. 2002; Kain et al. 2006; Schwartz et al. 2009; Gebhardt et al. 2011).”
A review on regional convection‐permitting climate modeling: Demonstrations, prospects, and challenges (2015, background): “Nevertheless, some studies have reported improved model behavior at 4 km grid spacing without convection parameterization schemes [Done et al., 2004; Weisman et al., 2008; Schwartz et al., 2009; Prein et al., 2013b].”
Convection‐permitting models: a step‐change in rainfall forecasting (2016, methodology): “Results from these verification approaches have indeed shown the benefit of convection-permitting resolution both in terms of spatial accuracy and the characteristics of the rainfall (Lean et al., 2008; Roberts, 2008; Schwartz et al., 2009; Clark et al., 2010; Mittermaier et al., 2013).”
Benefit of convection permitting climate model simulations in the representation of convective precipitation (2014, background): “Copious literature proves the added value of this spatial resolution in the representation of the precipitation field especially in cases of moist convection and/or in regions with strong orography (Langhans et al. 2013; Mass et al. 2002; Miura et al. 2007; Grell et al. 2000; Richard et al. 2007; Le”
Mixing‐length controls on high‐resolution simulations of convective storms (2013, unknown): “A number of studies (Lean et al., 2008; Kain et al., 2008; Weisman et al., 2008; Schwartz et al., 2009; Kendon et al., 2012) have shown that such models yield qualitatively more realistic precipitation fields and are quantitatively more skilful than lower-resolution simulations with parametrized…”
