Parameterizing Physical Processes Parameterization is how we include the effects of physicalprocesses implicitly when we cannot include the processesthemselves explicitly. Parameterization can be thought of asemulation (modeling the effects of a process) rather thansimulation (modeling the process itself). Parameterization is necessary for several reasons: Computers are not yet powerful enough to treat many physicalprocesses explicitly because they are either too small (asdiscussed earlier) or complex to be resolved Many other physical processes cannot be explicitly modeledbecause they are not sufficiently understood to be representedin equation format or there are no appropriate data
