The correct response is:

The two models assimilate data differently using different equations.

This is because both the American weather model (often referring to the Global Forecast System, GFS) and the European weather model (often referring to the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, ECMWF) use different algorithms and methods to process and predict meteorological data, leading to variations in their forecasts.
