Extreme precipitation response to climate perturbations in an atmospheric mesoscale model

Extreme precipitation response to climate perturbations in an atmospheric mesoscale model

Observations of extreme (sub-)hourly precipitation at mid-latitudes show a large dependency on the dew point temperature often close to 14% per degree—2 times the dependency of the specific humidity on dew point temperature which is given by the Clausius–Clapeyron (CC) relation. By simulating a sele...
