A Quest to Understand and Model Regional Precipitation and Their Future Changes

Explore the complex interplay between weather and climate perspectives in understanding and modeling regional precipitation patterns and their future changes in this comprehensive AGU conference talk. Delve into the energetic framework's applications for advancing knowledge of regional precipitation and the impact of global warming. Examine the role of aerosols as agents influencing energy distribution and precipitation in certain regions. Investigate the importance of both weather and climate perspectives in extreme precipitation events, focusing on thunderstorms and their relationship with large-scale environments. Discuss the potential insights gained from models that resolve storm structures and the importance of balancing both perspectives in prioritizing model development efforts for improved precipitation forecasting and climate change predictions.
