Process study
Process study
is the
phenomenological approach
used in
climatology
. Process
studies
are used "to
develop
the
parameterizations
, and
observations
used to
calibrate
". A
parametrization
is a set of
fitted
equations
to
represent
physical phenomena
instead of
deducing
them from
first principals
. An example for a
parametrized
phenomenon are thunderstorms which
cannot
be
simulated
within a
circulation model
if the
spatial resolution
of several
km
is too
coarse
to
resolve
single
storm cell
