A Smooth Ski
Slope
¥Now consider a smooth slope with no
moguls.
¥The skis would go downhill in a straight
line.
¥The final positions of the skis would
always remain 70
cm apart, spaced at 10 cm intervals.¥Uncertainty in the final prediction, regardless of the forecast length, is no greater than the uncertainty in the initial positions of the skis.
A smooth slope is not a
chaotic system.
