There are several reasons why atmospheric models only approximate reality.

This gap is a blind spot in the forecasts from an atmospheric model.

Many different atmospheric models are available, ranging from academic research tools to fully operational instruments.

June and I are working to program the atmospheric model into the computer.

Scientists use greenhouse gas inventories as inputs to atmospheric and economic models.

They can also be used to assess model uncertainty by plotting various values from atmospheric models.

Many other global atmospheric models are run by national meteorological agencies.

The organization runs atmospheric models on their own supercomputer to help in the task of weather forecasting.

Sea surface temperature affects the behavior of the Earth's atmosphere above, so their initialization into atmospheric models is important.

This atmospheric model assumes both molecular weight and temperature are constant over a wide range of altitude.
