Kurzbeschreibung
A Climate Modelling Primer is designed to explain the basis and mechanisms of all types of physically based climate models. The continual development of climate models have made updates of this successful text essential. In this thorough revision, there is an expanded look at the modeling of ocean circulation, further examples of how climate models have been used, a discussion of Earth System Models of Intermediate Complexity (EMICs), interactive exercises based on an Energy Balance Model (EBM) and a Daisyworld model, an introduction to computer modelling via updated programs for Win98 and Macintosh OSX, as well as updated and improved illustrations and photos.
