      • Rules
      • Start-up user interface
    • Weather forecasting
      • Stages
        • Data collection
        • Data assimilation
        • Numerical weather prediction
        • Model output post-processing

      • Uses
        • Help plan events
        • Farmers need to organise their crops
        • Transport companies
        • Everyday use - need an umbrella?
        • Council - need gritters out on the roads?
    • Car crash test analysis
      • Examples of inputs used
        • Speed
        • Road conditions
        • Brake conditions
        • Direction of collision
        • Number of occupants
      • Avantages
        • People don't get hurt
        • Less expensive and safer - don't use a real car
        • Informs customers which is best car design
        • Helps improve car design
          • Helps reduce effects of accidents on people
      • Disadvantages
        • Prediction - not fact
        • Difficult to program all variables into a model
        • Software complex and can make mistakes
        • Butterfly effect - one mistake can lead to many dramatic outcomes
