Technique could help climate models sweat the small stuff
> http://phys.org/news/2016-06-technique-climate-small.html


> In a paper published in the journal Physical Review Letters, Marston
> and his colleagues show a method of averaging out those small-scale
> dynamics in a way that is computationally tractable, which allows
> those dynamics to be simulated and their effects to be captured in a
> rigorous way.
>
> "We're retaining the degrees of freedom at the small scale, but
> treating them in a different way," Marston said. "We don't have to
> simulate all the little swirls, so to speak. We treat them by using
> their averages and the sizes of their fluctuations. It allows us to
> capture the contributions of these small-scale dynamics that would
> normally not be included."
