Atmospheric Physics
Initial conditions refer to the specific values or states of a system at the beginning of an observation or modeling process. In the context of atmospheric models, these conditions are crucial as they provide the starting point for predictions and simulations of weather patterns. The accuracy of forecasts heavily depends on how well these initial conditions are determined, as they influence the trajectory of the modeled system over time.
congrats on reading the definition of initial conditions. now let's actually learn it.
