Process study

Process study is the phenomenological approach used in climatology. Process studies are used "to develop the parameterizations [e.g. of circulation models], and observations [are] used to calibrate [the latter]".[1] A parametrization is a set of fitted equations to represent physical phenomena instead of deducing them from first principals. An example for a parametrized phenomenon are thunderstorms which cannot be simulated within a circulation model if the spatial resolution of several km is too coarse to resolve single storm cell.

Other meanings

There is a journal entitled Process Studies.

gollark: Laptop maybe?
gollark: So 0, which is probably considered false.
gollark: It should return the number of my tekw moved.
gollark: Basically. It acts like any other block with an inventory. Probably should have said that initially.
gollark: The chest is beside the turtle, yes? As they are adjacent there is one direction (north, south, west, east, up or down), which would take you from the position of the chest to that of the turtle if you were to walk that way. You can pull items from the turtle by using that direction as the from argument.
