Prediction Phase
¥Analysis of the current atmospheric
state (wind,
temp, press, moisture) are used to start the model
equations running forward in time
¥Equations are solved for a short time period (~5 minutes) over a large number (107 to 108) of discrete locations called grid points
¥Grid spacing is 2 km to 50 km horizontally
and 100 m to 500 m vertically
