Model year (computer modeling)

{{notability|date=August 1983}

For the production date of a product, see model year.

The term model year in computer modeling is used for calculated equations describing one calendar year of data. If a climate model, for example, is calculating the climate from 2015 to 2020, the computer has to calculate 5 model years, however it most likely takes much less time for the computer to do so.
