Process study
Process study is the phenomenological approach used in climatology and may be defined as the way towards "understanding Template:Xt is only for examples of style and formatting. Do not use it in actual articles. necessary to develop the parameterizations {xt|[e.g. of circulation models]}}, and observations Template:Xt is only for examples of style and formatting. Do not use it in actual articles. used to calibrate them"[1]; parametrization means that not all physical phenomena (e.g. thunderstorms) can be simulated within a circulation model (e.g. because the spatial resolution is too coarse) and the phenomena are represented by effective, fitted equations instead of being deduced from first principals.
