Re:Question - Computer model and accuracy

Anonymous, you seem to be confusing weather modeling with climate modeling. I think you might benefit from some good books written for the educated nonspecialist.
If historical perspectives help, you might want to visit my page of book reviews on the subject, which I have been writing for more than 10 years.
Early books, such as The Change in the Weather through more recent ones, like The Weather Makers all do a very good job of describing how climate is changing and what that means for day-to-day weather.
The previously cited Storm World makes specific connections to predictions about changes in hurricane patterns (climate). Predictions about the course of an individual hurricane fall under the heading of weather.
