Not exact matches
In particular, the
coarse and heavily pixelated low
resolution and low pixels per inch screen made worse with poor anti-aliasing, the
very low color depth, the poor color gamut in ambient light, and also the poor viewing angle performance (because watches are not easily positioned for zero degree viewing).
Model results don't depend critically on
resolution — the climate sensitivity of the models is not a function of this in any obvious way, and the patterns of warming seen in
coarse resolution models from the 1980s are
very similar to those from AR4 or the upcoming AR5 (~ 50 times more horizontal grid points).
With respect to hurricane intensity, there are observed trends indicating this and model results predicting this, and while there are problems in each (data problems with hurricanes,
coarse resolution in global models, etc.), theoretical arguments also make clear that there will be more energy and water vapor available in the atmosphere to cause more intense hurricanes, so a
very strong case can be made for this happening.
Their relatively good spectral
resolution makes infrared sounders
very useful for the determination of cloud properties (day and night), and their
coarse spatial
resolution has less effect on clouds with large spatial extents like cirrus clouds.
If the points are
very far away from each other the model is said to have
coarse resolution and the forecasts is only representative of
very large areas, and may not be exactly the weather where you may be located.
