Anatomy of extraordinary rainfall and flash flood in a Dutch lowland catchment [PDF]
On 26 August 2010 the eastern part of The Netherlands and the bordering part of Germany were struck by a series of rainfall events lasting for more than a day. Over an area of 740 km2 more than 120 mm of rainfall were observed in 24 h. This extreme event

Realism of rainfall in a very high-resolution regional climate model [PDF]
The realistic representation of rainfall on the local scale in climate models remains a key challenge. Realism encompasses the full spatial and temporal structure of rainfall, and is a key indicator of model skill in representing the underlying processes.

11-year solar cycle influences on the late-wintertime South Asian jet variability
The South Asian jet leading wave train (SAJLWT) is a zonally elongated and equivalently barotropic stationary Rossby wave train along the wintertime South Asian subtropical jet, which stands out as the leading empirical orthogonal function mode of ...
