Evaluation of the ALARO1-SFX (CY43T2) regional climate model over Belgium across different resolutions

Wout Dewettinck, Hans Van de Vyver, Daan Degrauwe, Rafiq Hamdi et autres

Regional climate modelling is essential for providing reliable information to understand localised impacts and guide adaptation strategies in the context of climate change. This study evaluates long-term continuous climate simulations over Belgium performed with the ALARO1-SFX model, a novel version of ALARO-1 …

Abstract. Accurate quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE) at high spatiotemporal resolution remains challenging despite advances in observational technology. This study presents the first comprehensive evaluation of rainfall retrievals from a commercial microwave link (CML) network in Belgium, examining whether CML-derived rainfall can complement …

Impact of fragmented urbanization on observed precipitation

Amber Jacobs, Kwinten Van Weverberg, Steven Caluwaerts

Abstract Research regarding the urban impact on precipitation focuses mostly on large‐scale, isolated cities, making the conventional methodologies inapplicable to more complex urban morphologies, such as fragmented urban landscapes. This study addresses this limitation by exploring an innovative observation‐centered method, in which …

[SOFTWARE] Evaluation of the ALARO1-SFX (CY43T2) regional climate model over Belgium across different resolutions

Wout Dewettinck, Hans Van de Vyver, Daan Degrauwe, Rafiq Hamdi et autres

This software accompanies the publication "Evaluation of the ALARO1-SFX regional climate model over Belgium across different resolutions". The input data for this software are derived from simulations with the ALARO1-SFX model, performed for the period 1992–2022 at three horizontal resolutions: 25 km, …

Standardized collection and processing of rainfall data from telecommunication networks: First Results from the Global Microwave Data Collection Initiative (GMDI)

Christian Chwala, Martin Fencl, Vojtěch Bareš, Aart Overeem et autres

Accurate quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE) remains a major challenge in many data-scarce regions, particularly across low- and middle-income countries where conventional rain gauge and radar networks are sparse or absent. Commercial Microwave Links (CMLs), widely deployed for telecommunication purposes, provide an opportunistic …

Uneven hydroclimatic risk and land access constraints challenge refugee agricultural self-reliance in Uganda

Emnet Negash Gebremeskel, Erin Coughlan de Perez, Laura E. R. Peters, Abena Boatemaa Asare-Ansah et autres

Uganda's refugee policy is widely regarded for promoting agricultural self-reliance among the country’s nearly 2 million refugees, the largest refugee population in Africa. However, viability of this model is often challenged by how hydroclimatic shocks interact with household capacity to absorb them, …

Observed impact of fragmented urban areas on downwind precipitation

Amber Jacobs, Kwinten Van Weverberg, Steven Caluwaerts

The impact of urban areas on precipitation is widely accepted, with increased precipitation often observed over and downwind of city centers. However, this urban impact on precipitation is still not fully understood, and uncertainties remain regarding the underlying mechanisms as well as …

Modelling contrail cirrus using a double-moment cloud microphysics scheme in the UK Met Office Unified Model

Weiyu Zhang, Paul R. Field, Kwinten Van Weverberg, Piers M. de F. Forster et autres

Contrail cirrus is the largest contributor to aviation effective radiative forcing (ERF), but remains highly uncertain (∼ 70 %). Recent research has highlighted the critical role of cloud microphysical schemes in contrail cirrus climate modelling. In this study, we implement a contrail …
