Convection‐permitting models: a step‐change in rainfall

Much convection in the UK is under‐resolved by models at 1 5 km grid length (Bryan et al 2003 Hanley et al 2015) However there is evidence that even at 100 m grid length there are issues with the representation of convection that are probably related to partially resolving turbulence (Hanley et al 2015) Thus it appears that
