High-resolution global atmospheric model erases 'popcornlike' rain

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have developed a high-resolution global atmospheric model with a 220-meter grid spacing. This advancement improves weather forecasting accuracy by eliminating artificial 'popcornlike' rain bursts in simulations.
Why it matters
More precise climate modeling is essential for predicting extreme weather events, which are becoming more frequent and severe due to climate change.
