Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Numerical weather prediction models can produce errors when they inadequately represent important meteorological processes. This can happen due to simplifications in the model, limitations in understanding of certain processes, or computational constraints that prevent the full complexity of the atmosphere from being captured accurately.
