  "definition": "1. A model that includes variability (see definition) in model parameters. This variability is a function of 1) changing environmental conditions, 2) spatial and temporal aggregation within the model framework, 3) random variability. The solutions obtained by the model or output is therefore a function of model components and random variability.\n\n2. A model that includes variability in model parameters.
