Stochastic model
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-009263
A mathematical model that incorporates random variables or probabilistic elements to represent processes where outcomes are not deterministic. In atmospheric science, these models are used to simulate phenomena like turbulent diffusion, cloud microphysics, or ensemble forecasting, accounting for inherent uncertainties. They provide a range of possible outcomes rather than a single prediction.
