Stochastic process
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-009265
A collection of random variables indexed by time or space, representing a system whose state evolves probabilistically. In meteorology, this concept is applied to phenomena like turbulent fluctuations, cloud formation, and climate variability, where exact prediction of individual events is impossible. Such processes are characterized by statistical properties rather than deterministic outcomes.
