Higher resolution models tended to get more hurricane formation (perhaps unsurprisingly), with quarter - degree models parameterized using observed SSTs generally capturing historical hurricane formation rates fairly accurately.
Not exact matches
This study showed that
higher resolution climate
models tend to more realistically depict how droplets form a cloud and how precipitation develops.
Because they are run for short periods of time only, they
tend to have much
higher resolution and more detailed physics than climate
models (but note that the Hadley Centre for instance, uses the same
model for climate and weather purposes).
GCMs
tend to be too coarse to resolve cyclones, but
high -
resolution regional
models for storm studies exist.
In her study, RCMs operating at the typical 25 — 50 km scale
resolution tend to overestimate the positive soil moisture — precipitation feedback in the Alpine area, which is better represented by
higher resolution models.
