Examples

“Although the 1-D RCM can predict only horizontally, diurnally, and seasonally averaged conditions, it is capable of estimating the first-order climate responses of the atmosphere, which is our intention in this study.”

“[C]limate is far to^([sic]) complex to describe in a 1-dimensional fashion. Fortunately, 3-D models of the earth-atmosphere system, so-called General Circulation Models (GCM's), exist which more or less confirm the responses computed by 1-D RCM's.”
