🌦️ “The small-scale matters for the large-scale!” - C. Hohenegger
When the Storms & Land group began their #nextGEMS journey, their mission was clear: find out how explicitly resolving #storms and land-surface features at km-scale changes our understanding of #ClimateVariability.
Over the past four years, under the leadership of Cathy Hohenegger (MPI-M), the team explored how precipitation and #temperature patterns over land are shaped by fine-scale features, such as rivers and soil moisture, and how these effects can differ dramatically from coarser #ClimateSimulations.
The results? Surprising, and a reminder that small details can have global consequences.
