Prognostic clouds

  "id": "MLC-T-MET-008174",
  "term": "Prognostic clouds",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "Clouds that are explicitly forecast by a numerical weather prediction model, rather than being diagnosed from other atmospheric variables. These models simulate the physical processes of cloud formation, growth, and dissipation directly. This approach provides a more detailed and accurate representation of cloud fields, particularly for aviation and solar energy forecasting.",
