Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-008898
A point or region in a mathematical model or physical system where certain properties become infinite, undefined, or exhibit anomalous behavior. In atmospheric science, this can refer to points where equations break down, such as in the formation of shock waves or the behavior of certain atmospheric vortices. It often indicates a breakdown of the underlying assumptions of a model.
