«Our finding that convective features change drastically at
resolutions of 2 kilometers or more opens up new avenues for research into the interactions
between convection and global atmospheric circulation that would have been invisible at
coarser resolutions.»
The observed differences
between their study and our assessment can further result from variations in the base data employed: Jongman et al. [73] used a finer
resolution SRTM grid at 3 arc sec
resolution but
coarser resolution population density data at 5 arc min
resolution and, as mentioned earlier, an older version of the UN's demographic data.
