Examples

  • To handle this potential for initial instability, climate modellers create “spin-up” runs: pick some starting state, run the model for say 30 years of simulation, until it has settled down to a stable climate, and then use the state at the end of the spin-up run as the starting point for science experiments.

  • While StreamInsight will take some spin-up for coders to get used to, they'll find that Microsoft has really smoothed the way.

  • It's a British political satire about the spin-up to a familiar-sounding war, and it plays like a combination of Dr. Strangelove, the Office, and the output of some highly ingenious scatology-creation software.

  • The $2.8 billion plan presented by the Legislature includes $1.6 billion in executive actions already taken by Governor Paterson; $391 million in a spin-up of federal education aid; and $250 million in a tax amnesty program - meaning only $600-$700 million in real spending reductions have been agreed to by the Legislature.

  • The RCM simulations are typically initialized using atmospheric and land-surface conditions interpolated from the corresponding AOGCM fields, and there may be a considerable spin-up period before the actual simulation is started [46].

  • However, in order to reach definitive conclusions in an RCM intercomparison, ensemble simulations with adequate spin-up (time for regional model processes to equilibrate with prescribed external forcings) and equivalent initialization of surface fields are required [31].
