New high-resolution climate model predicts more extreme weather events in the future
CNN
A first-of-its-kind study uses a new high-resolution climate model showing local climate-fueled extreme weather risks projected decades in advance -- and the results aren't good.
The UK Met Office leveraged its 2.2 km resolution UK Climate Projection model to analyze future rainfall events. It is the first time researchers have used a climate model at a resolution on a par with operational weather models for national climate scenarios.
Researchers found through the high-resolution model that impacts of extreme rainfall could be more frequent and severe due to climate change than had previously been thought.
