Why Climate Models Don’t Suffer from Error Accumulation with Longer Time Horizons
Modeling & PredictionClimate models are used to simulate the Earth’s climate and make predictions about how it will change in the future. As with any model, there is always the possibility of error, and the question arises as to why these errors do not accumulate as the time horizon of the model increases. In this article, we

Efficient Retrieval of Surface Values in Hybrid Sigma Coordinate System for Improved Atmosphere Modelling
Modeling & PredictionAtmospheric modeling is a complex process that requires accurate and reliable data. One of the challenges in atmospheric modelling is the use of different coordinate systems to represent atmospheric variables. The hybrid sigma coordinate system is one such system that is widely used in numerical weather prediction models. It is a coordinate system that combines

The Mystery of the Terminator Line: Why Does the Earth’s Atmosphere Defy Curvature?
Modeling & PredictionThe Earth’s atmosphere is a complex and dynamic system that plays a vital role in supporting life on our planet. It consists of several layers, each with its own unique characteristics and properties. One of the most intriguing features of our atmosphere is the terminator line, which marks the boundary between day and night on

Revisiting the Two-Layer Hydrostatic Model: Limitations and Implications for Ocean Modeling
Modeling & PredictionThe two-layer hydrostatic model is a commonly used model in oceanography to understand the dynamics of the ocean. The model divides the ocean into two layers, the upper layer and the lower layer, and assumes that the pressure within each layer is hydrostatic. The model is often used to study the response of the ocean
