New climate model shows more extreme rainfall in the tropics with increased temperatures. Blue Marble and climate model. The left globe shows the famous 'Blue Marble' photo of Earth, taken in 1972.

NASA, MPI-M, DKRZ, NVIDIA Understanding cloud patterns in our changing climate is essential to making accurate predictions about their impact on society and nature. Scientists at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) and the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology published a new study in the journal Science Advances that uses a high-resolution global climate model to understand how the clustering of clouds and storms impacts rainfall extremes in the tropics. They show that with rising temperatures, the severity of extreme precipitation events increases.
