Hindcast
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Hindcast is a way of testing a model. Realistic inputs for the past are fed into the model to see how well the output matches reality.
An example of the use of a Hindcast would be giving a climate model forcings for a period such as 1920 to 2000 to see how well the model performed at predicting the climate for that period.
