He uses a combination of analytic and
simple numerical models to build physical intuition for complex phenomena.
A simple numerical model using known sunspots and known PDO changes and a 22 year lag time produces the observed temperature trends since 1900.

I will not answer this question in a quantitative way, which may disappoint those who want
numerical forecasts; in fact, I will be making a few criticisms of the
simple models that are often employed for this purpose.
The researchers are now working with other collaborators to benchmark their experimental results against
numerical simulations of the plating process in
simple model systems.
For these comparative studies I applied both
simple model calculations and massive three - dimensional direct
numerical simulations on supercomputers.
I will present new
numerical models that treat dust coagulation / fragmentation, dust dynamics,
simple gas - grain chemistry, and vapor diffusion simultaneously, and explore the connection between the water vapor in the disk atmosphere and the size - distribution and ice - to - rock ratios of the dust grains growing in the midplane.
If it is correct, it makes theoretical discussion
simple and
numerical modelling economical.
When dealing with
simple mathematical
models, experiments can be bypassed, mathematics alone can the trick by inversion, simplification,... Else, approximations (often based on
numerical discretisation and big computers nowadays) have to be used.

models, ranging from
simple mathematical descriptions to complex coupled
numerical calculations.
The effects of mesoscale eddies on the main subtropical thermocline are explored using a simply configured wind - and buoyancy - driven primitive equation
