  "term": "Model calibration",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The process of adjusting the parameters and initial conditions of a numerical weather prediction or climate model to improve its agreement with observed atmospheric data. This involves systematically comparing model outputs with real-world measurements and making iterative changes to reduce discrepancies. Calibration can involve tuning parameters such as cloud microphysics schemes or surface albedo values.",
