Indeed no.

Modelling is pretty good with the averages.

And although the butterfly effect affects weather systems, it does not affect averages. Much.

I'm sure it works the best when yearly averages are inserted into the 20 minute recalculation cycles to calculate how the circumstances have changed over the last few minutes.

Are you by any chance related to vyc Mr Pman? he has the same quaint village-idiot idiom and manner,although more UK than USA in delivery.Maybe you are twins separated at birth in some cruel experiment to prove that imbecility is hereditary and not environmental.

Cbacba, I think we found a guy that lives in the roadkill belt USA.

when they do that, then they will have made some headway. otherwise they have a random number generator.
The UK met office uses a Unified Model to predict climate and weather. The model can be configured differently depending upon whether one is doing a weather forecast or a climate forecast. For a short term weather prediction, only the atmospheric portion of the model need be used, other portions of the climate model are held constant when performing a weather forecast.
However, for long term climate modeling these things cannot be held constant, such as ocean temperature, vegetation, sea ice, etc. Also, the resolution used is smaller for a weather forecast.

However, the climate models are also beginning to be used with greater resolution. As computing power increases, the climate models and the weather-forecasting models are expected to converge.
