Figure-3.10: Comparative resolution of global and regional climate models

Monthly precipitation simulated by the global model (left) and regional model (right) based on simulations described by Scinocca et al. (2016). The global model results are provided to the regional model along its boundaries, and the regional model recomputes climate in the interior of that limited area domain. The higher-resolution regional model provides more detail, as seen in the simulated precipitation patterns.
