parametrization

So you still have to resort to parametrization, knowing that slightly different values of your parameters will give you very different responses.

We consider that these five are consistent within the systematic uncertainty of the PGR models, which may have a range of uncertainty of 0.5 mm/yr depending on earth structure parametrization employed Mitrovica and Davis, 1995.

Different models will produce clouds in diferent locations and different altitudes, depending on their parametrization, on the water vapor transport i.e. 3-dimensional dynamics of the atmosphere.

Here it is – my question on GCM parametrization being a poorly constrained problem.

In addition to the explicitly resolved scales of motions, the models also contain parametrization schemes representing the so-called subgrid-scale processes, such as radiative transfer, turbulent mixing, boundary layer processes, cumulus convection, precipitation, and gravity wave drag.

The MathWorld article on superellipses concludes: "While [it] is clearly capable of describing a number of diverse biological shapes having a variety of symmetries, it seems unlikely that this formula has any particularly fundamental biological significance beyond as a possibly convenient parametrization".
