> What is “the underlying process”?

IMO -

The simple ones: advection, latent heat release/absorption from water changing phases, and the Coriolis force. If you need an AI for this, please take a course on differential equations.

The hard ones: droplet/ice crystal formation, cloud feedback on radiative transfer, evaporation at air-sea boundaries. If you can train a model for these processes, please, please tell someone.

"what is the underlying process" is another way of saying, all we have is models. We don't really understand anything. Even gravity. Yet, we can model gravity extremely well for practical purposes.

Exactly. Taking it further, I don’t understand how my hands work. Yet here I am typing away, without even having a good model for it, except just the language I’m using to describe what I’m doing
