Stochastorm: A Stochastic Rainfall Simulator for Convective Storms

Catherine Wilcox et al.

Summary: Stochastic rainfall generators aim to replicate main statistical features of rainfall at small scales, suitable for water, agricultural, and ecological impact analysis. Specific properties of convection-driven precipitation, such as strong intermittency and high variability, require consideration when modeling. Improvements in the generator provide more accurate representation of convective precipitation for impact studies.

Future Changes in Seasonality in East Africa from Regional Simulations with Explicit and Parameterized Convection

Caroline M. Wainwright et al.

Summary: The East African precipitation seasonal cycle is of significant societal importance, but current global climate models do not accurately capture this seasonality. The use of convective parameterization schemes is a known source of precipitation bias in such models. A comparison between a high-resolution regional model with explicit convection and a corresponding parameterized-convection simulation reveals differences in capturing East Africa precipitation seasonality. Both models show changes in timing and intensity of short rains under future climate change.
