Hi everyone,

I was looking at some weather models just now, and I was wondering what the purpose of only giving data every 15/60 minutes is. My current understanding is that most weather models are just large, complex physics simulations, and because of this, certainly they must have data for a much smaller time resolution, right? Is the rendering of the actual products something that is significantly more complicated than actually producing the numerical products, or is there another limitation that causes weather models to not be smooth & continuous?
