Computers use the laws of physics and mathematics to make predictions based on simulations of the atmosphere that are represented on a grid.
Simple simulations based on the idea reproduce a variety of real-world cases that reflect intelligent behaviour.
We are reduced to relying on what amounts to informed scientific guesswork based on computer simulations.
Uncertainties, however, plague such forecasts, which are based on computer simulations and models.
The project will use supercomputer-based models and simulations to reconstruct a virtual human brain to develop new treatments for neurological conditions.

For example, significant cooling and strong dynamical effects after the Laki event and other high-latitude eruptions are believed to have caused decreased flow of the Nile River in Egypt and weakened African and Asian monsoons based on climate model simulations, with potentially very significant impacts on food and water supplies.
Dr Mainzer expects that calculations, simulations and models based on this data "will keep people busy for decades".
