  "term": "Numerical modeling",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The use of mathematical equations and computational algorithms to simulate physical processes and phenomena, such as atmospheric circulation or climate change. These models discretize continuous systems into a grid of points and solve equations at each point over time, providing a representation of how the system evolves. Numerical modeling is a fundamental tool in meteorology for understanding, predicting, and projecting weather and climate.",
