E3MC develops projections using a market-based approach to energy analysis. For each fuel and consuming sector, the model balances energy supply and demand, accounting for economic competition among the various energy sources. This ensures consistent results among the sectors and regions. The model can be operated in a forecasting mode or an analytical mode. 2, record 1, English, - Energy%2C%20Emissions%20and%20Economy%20Model%20for%20Canada

With the apparent successes of deep learning in modeling high-dimensional data in other domains such as computer vision and natural language processing, a natural question to ask is whether numerical weather models can also be learned purely from data. This question sparked some debate after initial studies showed the general feasibility of such an approach for medium-range weather forecasting. 3, record 2, English, - medium%2Drange%20weather%20forecasting

The regionalized method is used with the goal of better forecasting rare events, since it incorporates observations from many stations into a single data sample. However, regionalized forecasts need to be adjusted for local effects. The single station approach is used to forecast weather elements which are highly dependent on local effects because typical local conditions are built into the relationship for each equation. These issues are discussed in detail by Maglares and Carter(1986). Since local effects are very important factors in determining the occurrence of precipitation in mountainous terrain, the single station approach was used for this project. 1, record 4, English, - regionalized%20forecast

Types of technique used, for example, in technological forecasting, which begin with a consideration of the likely future structure and needs of society, and then consider the developments necessary to create that structure and meet those needs. On the other hand, exploratory forecasting techniques make projections based on present knowledge of a technology or product without trying to take into account the likely overall future picture. Particular techniques of technological forecasting include brain-storming, the Delphi approach, morphological research, the scenario writing approach, and technological trend extrapolation. 1, record 8, English, - normative%20forecasting%20technique
