Short summary
Storm-resolving climate models are gaining attention for their improved simulation of mesoscale processes. Yet, how finer resolution benefits synoptic-scale phenomena remains unclear. We assess atmospheric blocking in the Next Generation Earth Modelling Systems, European Eddy-Rich Earth System Models, and Destination Earth projects, identifying key bias drivers and their response under a high-emissions climate change scenario.
