One of the main difficulties for modeling the Earth system (or sub-systems) is to idenfy and characterize all source and loss terms. As an approximation one often assumes that the system is closed or enclosed in a closed system. According to the domain which is considered, such an approximation may be wrong. More accurate observations are still needed.
