Spatial extent of precipitation events: when big is getting bigger

Abstract Using a sub-selection of regional climate models at 0.11° ( $$\approx$$ ? 12 km) grid resolution from the EURO-CORDEX ensemble, we investigate how spatial extent areas associated with most intensive daily precipitation events changes as consequence global warming. We address this by analysing three different warming levels: 1 °C, 2 °C and 3 °C. find that not only does intensity such increase, but their size will also change function warming: larger systems becomes more frequent larger, while lesser are reduced in numbers.
