numerical weather prediction

First deployed during World War II to simulate nuclear weapons and artillery trajectories, nascent computers were soon adopted by meteorologists to simulate the future state of the atmosphere, creating the modern discipline of numerical weather prediction.

No one expects traditional numerical weather prediction to disappear; climate models, for example, rely on the same equation-solving paradigm.

This finding can be used to improve numerical weather prediction of nearshore cloud formation and rainfall patterns across the Hawaiian Islands.

Despite the rarity of tropical cyclones reaching California, numerical weather prediction models since the storm's formation have generally shown Hilary likely to accelerate along the west coast of Baja California and pushing into Southern California.

Conventional forecasts rely on a system known as numerical weather prediction.
