This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: NumericalWeatherPredictionModels, Nesting in which A model at a relatively larger scale, Levels of resolution in Vertical dimension, Observations is a process called "Warm start", Observations only is a process called "Cold start", Previous model runs used in conjunction with Observations, Numerical Weather Prediction models have different Levels of resolution, Equations derived from Principles of hydrodynamics and atmospheric physics, Both horizontal and vertical directions requiring a solution for Horizontal (x, y axes) coordinates, Lateral boundaries in the case of Mesoscale Models, Grid size e.g., 1 Km, Planetary Scale referred to as Global Models, Iterative process continuing with Iteration of the equations, Numerical Weather Prediction models are run on Computers, Eta coordinate in which pressure is relative to Terrain, Weather at a mesoscale e.g., Gust fronts, The horizontal dimensions expressed in terms of Grid size, Horizontal scales which are Continental Scale, Iterative process continuing with Error checking, Setting of values for Parameters, Mesoscale Models used to determine Weather at a mesoscale
