The claim says that going to much finer grids changes which of these rules cause trouble: convection becomes easier to handle, while the treatment of the land surface, for example in cities, raises new difficulties. If so, developers of hectometric models would need to put effort into new areas rather than just refining existing schemes.","findings":["Hectometric models have shown potential benefits for a range of meteorological phenomena, and some meteorological services are considering operational use, with many applications likely to be urban.","High computational cost is an overarching constraint, so the benefits over lower-resolution models or other high-resolution techniques need to be clearly understood.","Dynamical cores, physics–dynamics coupling, observations, data assimilation, ensembles and post-processing all need further work at these scales."],"terms":[{"term":"model parameterisations","means":"Simplified representations of small-scale processes that a model's grid cannot resolve directly."},{"term":"convection","means":"The rising and sinking of air that produces showers and thunderstorms, which is often too small-scale for coarse models to resolve."},{"term":"surface parameterisations","means":"Simplified descriptions of how the ground, vegetation and buildings exchange heat, moisture and momentum with the air above."}],"basis":"abstract","abstractFrom":"crossref","model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","writtenAt":"2026-10-11T17:47:39.337Z","version":"context/0.2"},"summary":{"status":"written","at":"2026-10-11T17:47:39.337Z","attempts":1,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","why":null},"note":"Machine-written context to help a reader: it is not evidence, it moves no number, and it may be wrong.
