  "id": "MLC-T-MET-004401",
  "term": "Closure assumptions",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "Simplifying hypotheses made in atmospheric and climate models to represent complex physical processes that cannot be explicitly resolved at the model's grid scale. These assumptions relate unresolved small-scale phenomena, such as turbulence or cloud microphysics, to the larger-scale resolved variables. Parameterization schemes are built upon these assumptions to provide realistic model outputs.",
