Domain
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-000742
A specific geographical area or a defined range of atmospheric conditions over which a particular meteorological model or analysis is applied. It establishes the spatial boundaries for calculations and observations, influencing the resolution and accuracy of forecasts. The size and resolution of a domain are typically chosen based on the phenomenon being studied, such as a regional forecast model covering a continent.
In air pollution modeling, the geographical area over which a simulation is performed.
