Here, we present an evaluation of climate simulations with the newly developed RegCM4-NH model run at the convection-permitting scale (CP-RegCM4-NH) for a decade-long period, over three domains covering a large European area. The simulations use a horizontal grid spacing of ~3 km and are driven by the ERA-Interim reanalysis through an intermediate driving RegCM4-NH simulation at ~12 km grid spacing with parameterized deep convection. The km-scale simulations are evaluated against a suite of hourly observation datasets with high spatial resolutions and are compared to the coarse-resolution driving simulation in order to assess improvements in precipitation from the seasonal to hourly scale. The results show that CP-RegCM4-NH produces a more realistic representation of precipitation than the coarse-resolution simulation over all domains. The most significant improvements were found for intensity, heavy precipitation, and precipitation frequency, both on daily and hourly time scales in all seasons. In general, CP-RegCM4-NH tends to correctly produce more intense precipitation and to reduce the frequency of events compared to the coarse-resolution one. On the daily scale, improvements in CP simulations are highly region dependent, with the best results over Italy, France, and Germany, and the largest biases over Switzerland, the Carpathians, and Greece, especially during the summer seasons. At the hourly scale, the improvement in CP simulations for precipitation intensity and spatial distribution is clearer than at the daily timescale. In addition, the representation of extreme events is clearly improved by CP-RegCM4-NH, particularly at the hourly time scale, although an overestimation over some subregions can be found. Although biases between the model simulations at the km-scale and observations still exist, this first application of CP-RegCM4-NH at high spatial resolution indicates a clear benefit of convection-permitting simulations and encourages further assessments of the added value of km-scale model configurations for regional climate change projections.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/atmos13060861","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,25]],"date-time":"2022-05-25T08:41:33Z","timestamp":1653468093000},"page":"861","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Non-Hydrostatic Regcm4 (Regcm4-NH): Evaluation of Precipitation Statistics at the Convection-Permitting Scale over Different Domains"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7175-3294","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paolo","family":"Stocchi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National Research Council of Italy, Institute of Atmospheric Sciences and Climate, CNR-ISAC, 40129 Bologna, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3456-8799","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Emanuela","family":"Pichelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"International Centre for Theoretical Physics, Earth System Physics (ICTP-ESP), 34014 Trieste, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jose Abraham","family":"Torres Alavez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Atmospheric and Climate Science, ETH-Zurich, 8000 Zurich, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Erika","family":"Coppola","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"International Centre for Theoretical Physics, Earth System Physics (ICTP-ESP), 34014 Trieste, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Graziano","family":"Giuliani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"International Centre for Theoretical Physics, Earth System Physics (ICTP-ESP), 34014 Trieste, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Filippo","family":"Giorgi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"International Centre for Theoretical Physics, Earth System Physics (ICTP-ESP), 34014 Trieste, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"527","DOI":"10.1175\/1520-0493(1997)125<0527:TRDOEM>2.0.CO;2","article-title":"The resolution dependence of explicitly modeled convective systems","volume":"125","author":"Weisman","year":"1997","journal-title":"Mon.
