Le proiezioni delle previsioni dei vari parametri meteorologici a livello globale indicano un costante miglioramento delle prestazioni dei modelli numerici. La percentuale degli errori è in graduale decremento, grazie alle rinnovate capacità di calcolo di computer sempre più potenti. Nel 2020 si sono raggiunti i 7 giorni utili di previsione, un traguardo ragguardevole se sì pensa che negli anni 90 del secolo scorso ad esempio nella previsione dell'altezza del geopotenziale a 500 hPa si raggiungevano appena i 4 giorni.

Kids will learn about the important tools a meteorologist uses to predict the weather in this fun, rhyming audiobook.
