The test of any new scientific theory is the ability to
make numerical predictions which prove to be correct on independent assessment.
«Given the promise shown by the research and the ever increasing computing power,
numerical prediction of hailstorms and warnings issued based on the model forecasts, with a couple of hours of lead time, may indeed be realized operationally in a not - too - distant future, and the forecasts will also be accompanied by information on how certain the forecasts are.»
Some older and smarter Churches did fine, never making
any numerical predictions and admitting what can no longer be denied.
Deike and his co-authors used experimental results — based on water and glycerin mixed with water — and
numerical predictions to create their model.
Flow laws for glacier ice: comparison of
numerical predictions and field measurements.
By the time the threat has altered enough to affect insurance rates, he added, «
the numerical predictions may have improved enough that we will know how it is changing as it changes.»
