Shallow cumulus clouds are too small to be represented accurately in the standard global weather and climate models that weather forecasters use to make predictions. This affects the accuracy of weather forecasts. In 2023, scientists developed a model that predicts how clouds of different sizes interact as they form and change throughout the day. The scientists tested their model using data from a single day in the state of Oklahoma, and it successfully predicted how clouds merged together or split apart over time. Although the results were promising, they are limited in what they can tell us, since __________
