Aspects of convective activity and extreme events in a transient climate change simulation

Some aspects of the characteristic changes of convective activity in a warmer climate (following IPCC scenario IS92a), as simulated with the ECHAM4/OPYC GCM are analysed. Data of total rain, convective rain, convective height, frequency of convective events and mass fluxes are investigated for, both...
