 note = {This study evaluated the reproducibility of simulated rainfall over western Philippines at different resolutions using a regional climate model, Advanced Research Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF-ARW). Four sets of experiments with distinct horizontal mesh sizes of 25, 12.5, 8 and 5 km were done for the summer monsoon period of June to August over 31 years from 1982 to 2012. The spatial distribution of monthly rainfall amount improved for higher resolution simulations. The experiment run at 12.5 km was able to reproduce monthly rainfall distribution closest to observed rainfall. The domains of 8-km and 5-km resolutions, which were further downscaled from a coarser initial domain, performed better in capturing the monthly rainfall distribution than the 25 km-single domain setup. In addition, high rainfall amount was simulated over an offshore area apart from the coastline in the windward direction of the Asian summer monsoon westerlies. This offshore rainfall was also observed in other regions of the monsoon Asia., postprint},
