Which of the following rely on the fact that gases of the atmosphere obey a number of known physical principles to predict the future state of the atmosphere?
A) statistical methods
B) trend forecasting
C) numerical weather prediction
D) persistence forecasting

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Numerical weather prediction relies on mathematical models that take into account physical principles governing atmospheric behavior (such as fluid dynamics and thermodynamics) to forecast the future state of the atmosphere. Statistical methods and trend forecasting may also be used in weather forecasting, but they do not specifically rely on the physical principles governing atmospheric behavior. Persistence forecasting involves assuming that weather conditions will remain the same as they have been in the recent past, without taking into account physical principles or mathematical models.
