TL;DR: This article investigated major results of the NARCCAP multiple regional climate model (RCM) experiments driven by multiple global climate models (GCMs) regarding climate change for seasonal temperature and precipitation over North America, focusing on two major questions: how do the RCM simulated climate changes differ from those of the parent GCMs and how important are the relative contributions of RCMs and GCMs to the uncertainty (variance explained) for different seasons and variables?

TL;DR: Results from climate change experiments with a convection-permitting model, for the first time over an Africa-wide domain, show more severe future changes in both wet and dry extremes over Africa compared to a traditional coarser resolution climate model.

TL;DR: A convection-permitting multi-year regional climate simulation using the Met Office Unified Model (UM) has been run for the first time on an Africa-wide domain this paper, which is run as part of the Future Climate for Africa (FCFA) Improving Model Processes for African Climate (IMPALA) project.

TL;DR: This paper used pan-African climate change simulations that explicitly model the rainfall-generating characteristics of Eastern Africa's fast-growing population is vulnerable to changing rainfall and extreme weather conditions, and used the first pan- African climate change simulation that explicitly modeled the rainfall generation characteristics.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the first convection-permitting simulations of African climate change to understand how changes in thermodynamics and storm dynamics affect future extreme Sahelian rainfall.
