«This new high - resolution
climate model is able to simulate
regional - scale precipitation with considerably improved accuracy compared to previous
generation models,» said Tom Delworth, a research scientist at NOAA's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory in Princeton, N.J., who helped develop the new
model and is co-author of the paper.
Specifi cally, the attendees addressed the following core areas needed for achieving the development of the next
generation community
regional climate model:
Unfortunately it is not a question that can be answered with a great deal of confidence from current -
generation global
climate models since their spatial resolution is typically inadequate to address such
regional matters with any degree of reliability.
This is one of the more challenging aspects of
modeling of the
climate system because precipitation involves not only large - scale processes that are well - resolved by
models but also small - scale process, such as convection, that must be parameterized in the current
generation of global and
regional climate models.
The observed relationships between cloud cover and
regional meteorological conditions provide a more complete way of testing the realism of the cloud simulation in current -
generation climate models.
