In the original publication of the article, the upper axis of Fig. 6 showing the physical distance was incorrect. For example, the physical distance corresponding to 50 grid points on a 0.45° grid mesh at 45° latitude is approximately 2500 km.

Equivalent to Fig. 4a, but for similar experiment realized with an RCM on a 0.45° mesh rather than 0.15° mesh
