"Computer modelling for weather forecasting, and indeed for climate forecasting, has reached its limits"
- Piers Corbyn
About this Quote
In this quote, Piers Corbyn is stating that the use of computer system modelling for anticipating weather condition and climate has reached its optimum capabilities. This implies that the innovation and techniques currently being used for forecasting are not able to precisely anticipate future weather patterns and environment modifications. Corbyn is recommending that there may be other factors or variables that are not being considered by these computer designs, causing limitations in their precision. This statement highlights the need for further developments and improvements in weather and climate forecasting methods in order to much better understand and anticipate these complex systems.
