"Numerical experiments" refers to conducting tests or simulations using numbers and mathematical models. It involves using computer algorithms or mathematical calculations to explore and analyze various scenarios, often to understand complex phenomena or solve problems. These experiments help researchers and scientists make predictions or draw conclusions without actually performing physical experiments.

If we want to isolate undesirable effects at an early stage, we will have to augment our observation of the real climate with information from
numerical experiments with the best available models.
They then
perform numerical experiments to see if their models can predict these storms better than the original forecasts using new, improved techniques.
On the basis of
simple numerical experiments, rates of long - term warming equivalent to 10 °C per century could be sufficient to trigger compost - bomb instability in drying organic soils.
«This work exemplifies the growing importance
of numerical experiments in biology,» said Jerome Baudry, assistant professor in the UT Biochemistry and Cellular and Molecular Biology Department and the UT — ORNL Center for Molecular Biophysics.
For more than a decade, Li has sought a better way for pulse design using the similarity between spins and springs by
using numerical experiments.

Joined by his advisor Allen McNamara, geodynamicist and associate professor in Arizona State University's School of Earth and Space Exploration, and seismologist and SESE professor Ed Garnero, Li and his collaborators»
numerical experiments show that plumes can indeed carry a combination of different materials from several reservoirs.
One approach to improve our understanding is to conduct open ocean iron fertilization experiments (both in situ and with carefully
designed numerical experiments) which allow scientists to study the impact of iron on marine ecosystems and to quantify its potential for CO2 removal.
Finally, the team conducted three different sets of
numerical experiments driven by bias - corrected climate projections from five GCMs to analyze the effect of irrigation on global surface water and groundwater resources.
One could conceivably add additional buckets with specified maximum allocations totaling 100 %, though I have not done the
appropriate numerical experiments to look at this.
Cohen received his Ph.D. in Atmospheric Sciences from Columbia University in 1994 and has since focused on
conducting numerical experiments with global climate models and advanced statistical techniques to better understand climate variability and to improve climate prediction.
Throughout the next decade, many
idealized numerical experiments demonstrated the capability of this model to produce a realistic hurricane structure, although it would not be until the 1980s that simulations would be attempted using data from real storms.
The Forum for Arctic Ocean Modeling and Observational Synthesis (FAMOS) is an international effort to focus on enhancing collaboration and coordination among arctic marine and sea ice modelers, theoreticians and observationalists based on a set of activities starting from generating hypotheses, to planning research included both observations and modeling, and to finalizing analyses synthesizing major results from the field studies and
coordinated numerical experiments.
The sensitivity of the AMOC and North Atlantic to two major freshwater pathways on either side of Greenland is studied
using numerical experiments.
Though the ultimate impacts of
the numerical experiments will take some time to realize, its potential motivates Snook and the severe hail prediction team.
The Platform for Regional Integrated Modeling and Analysis (PRIMA) initiative provided the model configuration and datasets used in
the numerical experiments.
Because
these numerical experiments are computationally intensive, only a very limited number of them have been run thus far.

numerical experiments, J. Geophys.
The numerical experiments are designed to explore the effects of changing various properties of the ocean (its size, geometry and diapycnal diffusivity), the atmosphere (its water vapour content) and the forcing of the system (the distribution of incoming solar radiation and the rotation rate of the planet).
