      abstract     = {In the framework of the EURO-CORDEX initiative an ensemble
                      of European-wide high-resolution regional climate
                      simulations on a 0.11∘(∼12.5km) grid has been generated.
                      This study investigates whether the fine-gridded regional
                      climate models are found to add value to the simulated mean
                      and extreme daily and sub-daily precipitation compared to
                      their coarser-gridded 0.44∘(∼50km) counterparts.
                      Therefore, pairs of fine- and coarse-gridded simulations of
                      eight reanalysis-driven models are compared to fine-gridded
                      observations in the Alps, Germany, Sweden, Norway, France,
                      the Carpathians, and Spain. A clear result is that the
                      0.11∘ simulations are found to better reproduce mean and
                      extreme precipitation for almost all regions and seasons,
                      even on the scale of the coarser-gridded simulations (50
                      km). This is primarily caused by the improved representation
                      of orography in the 0.11∘ simulations and therefore
                      largest improvements can be found in regions with
                      substantial orographic features. Improvements in reproducing
                      precipitation in the summer season appear also due to the
                      fact that in the fine-gridded simulations the larger scales
                      of convection are captured by the resolved-scale dynamics .
                      The 0.11∘ simulations reduce biases in large areas of the
                      investigated regions, have an improved representation of
                      spatial precipitation patterns, and precipitation
                      distributions are improved for daily and in particular for 3
                      hourly precipitation sums in Switzerland. When the
                      evaluation is conducted on the fine (12.5 km) grid, the
                      added value of the 0.11∘ models becomes even more
                      obvious.},
