ice component of models  

Definition

  • Climate models have developed from mathematical formulas used in the 19th century to try to predict the weather. The lack of accurate and comprehensive data and the need to rely on manual calculation techniques made these approaches very difficult, and ultimately they were abandoned as it became clear that the results of the equations did not match real-world conditions.
