The 1.5Km model has been re-run for that case and results are amazing,
even at 6 hours!
It captured the convergence line and re-generating cells and very high
localised rainfall over Exmoor near Boscastle.

I'm sure there was detailed example online for the Boscastle high
resolution modeling but I couldn't find it. However, I did manage to find
this
http://www.metbrief.com/Images/aug2004.jpg which demonstrates it quite
well.

Jon.

Cheers Jon.
There was a hundred+ page internal document written about Boscastle which
showed the effect of increasing resolution from global right down to 1km
nicely. IIRC that diagram was in the report. It is my view that we are now
much better placed strategically to predict the probability of these genuine
extreme rainfall events occurring. Moreover things will continue to improve
as our models get even better.

Cheers,

Will
