Hydrology Paper of the Day @hayleyjfowler.bsky.social @vikkithompson.bsky.social on linkages between convective rainfall events and global warming: mini-ensemble models; application of a hydrostatic regional climate model; and increases in extreme events with an increase in global temperatures.
This is a very nice new paper I was involved in. It is a very powerful new method for investigating the thermodynamic effects of climate change on rainfall extremes, with some quite sobering results showing very large increases in intensity.
🌧️🌍💧 Our new paper, led by Geert Lenderink, shows recent European extreme rainfall events have localised climate change responses beyond the expected Clausius-Clapeyron rate – potentially enhancing flash floods in a warmer climate.
