Economists often use computer models to try to understand the economy. Planet Money checks back in on a model it used a few years ago to predict what would happen with unemployment.

For months, scientists and public officials have relied upon computer-based models to try to predict the trajectory or the coronavirus outbreak. But models are not crystal balls, and all of them ...

Investigators have created the most bio-realistic and complex computer models of individual brain cells -- in unparalleled quantity. Their research details how these models could one day answer ...

I cover science and medicine, and believe this is biology's century. Update: The short version of this: all sciences use models; you don't need the models to prove that climate change is true. All ...

Computer forecast models can predict winter storms up to 16 days in advance, but only become reliable about seven days out.

Medhaug et al. Most discrepancies between models and observations can therefore be explained by the state of the natural variability, incomplete or biased forcings, and observational limitations ...

NASA satellite data from the years 2000 through 2011 show the Earth's atmosphere is allowing far more heat to be released into space than alarmist computer models have predicted, reports a new ...

CGI models are taking over more than just your social media 05:38. Many things you see online are not what they appear to be. In the case of social media influencers – people who are paid to ...

The computer models, designed by UT's Oden Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences, calculate how fast the glaciers are melting at the point where the ice meets the water.

COLUMBIA, S.C. — It’s the time of year where fantasy snowfall maps are shown on the internet or an ambiguous snowflake shows up on your stock cell phone app. Recently, the internet has been ...

Computer models are produced not just once a day. Many are produced as much as two, four or eight times a day. The High Resolution Rapid-Refresh (HRRR) model is produced hourly (up to 24 times a day).

The National Hurricane Center is upgrading the computer models it uses to predict storm surge. People will be able to see maps about how much storm surge is predicted when a storm is headed their way.
