Convection-Permitting Climate Modeling and Climate Risk Assessments

Session ID#: 161121

Session Description:
Regional climate modeling studies provide climate information at spatial scales that are relevant to local stakeholders and policymakers. These spatial scales of interest (~3-4 km) are expected to be able to resolve convection and could be considered convection-permitting. Performing simulations at these spatial scales is yet a challenge for both regional scale downscaled and global scale climate models. This session will discuss developments in convection-permitting models, technical challenges, scientific insights provided by these models and the potential use of decadal scale simulations with these models for assessing climate risks to built and natural environments.
