21.   Models predict, for instance, that coastal mountains can cap the winds, forcing them to accelerate as they deflect off coastal mountains.

22.   One model predicts that the fragments will break up and explode in the upper atmosphere creating a great fireworks show, Edberg said.

23.   One major shortcoming, Dyson said, is that the climatic models do not predict the existence of the phenomena known as El Nino.

24.   One study found the MELD model accurately predicted mortality when applied to patients listed for transplants.

25.   Other models predict no effects.

26.   Some computer models predict that without greenhouse gases, global average temperatures would have fallen in the second half of the century.

27.   The current standard model does not predict the masses of neutrinos, but its equations are simpler if neutrinos have no mass.

28.   The difficulty comes in timing the arrival and departure of clouds and precipitation because computer models often predict slower motion of the disturbances streaking through the jet stream.

29.   The models predict that as the climate warms, the swings should generally become more summerlike.

30.   The model predicts what might happen when various factors change.
