The characteristics of summer sub-hourly rainfall over the southern UK in a high-resolution convective permitting model
Flash flooding is often caused by sub-hourly rainfall extremes. Here, we examine southern UK sub-hourly 10 min rainfall from Met Office state-of-the-art convective-permitting model simulations for the present and future climate. Observational studies have shown that the duration of rainfall can decrease with temperature in summer in some regions. The duration decrease coincides with an intensification of sub-hourly rainfall extremes. This suggest…
Temperature influences on intense UK hourly precipitation and dependency on large-scale circulation
Short periods of intense rainfall may be associated with significant impacts on society, particularly urban flooding. Climate model projections have suggested an intensification of precipitation under scenarios of climate change. This is in accordance with the hypothesis that precipitation intensities will increase with temperature according to the thermodynamic Clausius–Clapyeron (CC) relation (a rate of ∼6–7% °C ^−1 )—a warmer atmosphere being …
Projected increases in summer and winter UK sub-daily precipitation extremes from high-resolution regional climate models
Summer (June–July–August; JJA) UK precipitation extremes projections from two UK Met Office high-resolution (12 km and 1.5 km) regional climate models (RCMs) are shown to be resolution dependent. The 1.5 km RCM projects a uniform ( $\approx 10\%$ ) increase in 1 h JJA precipitation intensities across a range of return periods. The 12 km RCM, in contrast, projects decreases in short return period (≦̸5 years) events but strong increases in long ret…
Evaluating the Perception of Uncertainty in Alternative Visualization Strategies
Although a number of methods have been proposed for representing uncertainty in spatial information, there has been relatively little testing of how users interpret uncertainty from those methods. Using results of a fuzzy classification of satellite imagery, this study looks at users’ perceptions of a number of different methods for visualization of uncertainty. Both relatively expert and novice users are highly successful at determining classifi…
