“…Mostly based on numerical weather prediction models, CP-RCMs have a spatial resolution of a few kilometres (< 4 km), in which deep convection is explicitly resolved, instead of being parameterised (Kendon et al, 2012;Prein et al, 2015). Since the early 2010, CP-RCMs have demonstrated an improved representation of complex terrains, as well as the local-scale climate processes such as extreme precipitation (Kendon et al, 2012;Ban et al, 2015;Prein et al, 2015;Kendon et al, 2017;Fumière et al, 2020;Pichelli et al, 2021;Caillaud et al, 2021;Ban et al, 2021;Luu et al, 2022;Lucas-Picher et al, 2023), and orographically induced precipitation (Adinolfi et al, 2021;Monteiro et al, 2022). These processes are particularly relevant for simulating climate conditions over islands.…”
