A)reduced accuracy in predicting the location of large anticyclones.
B)better prediction of small-scale weather phenomena.
C)better prediction of jet streams.
D)both a and c

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Smaller grid spacing allows for better resolution of small-scale weather phenomena, leading to improved predictions of those phenomena. However, it may not necessarily improve predictions of larger-scale features such as the location of anticyclones. Jet streams are also affected by smaller grid spacing, with some studies showing improved predictions and others showing no significant change.
