✦ Synopsis

About the Primer CD

The CD that accompanies this book is designed to complement the book. As explained throughout the text, developments in climate modelling are closely coupled to the development of computer technology. Since 1995, when the CD for the second edition was created, the Internet has grown substantially. Climate modellers now routinely share models and model results over the Internet, as well as sharing ideas via discussion groups and web pages. In this edition, we have expanded the list of visualizations and models from that in the second edition, included the figures from the book in a form suitable for lectures or presentations and added a collection of web links to get the reader started on finding out more about climate modelling. We do not claim that the lists are definitive or exhaustive, but we hope they are representative of the material you can find 'out there'.

To access the material on the CD, insert the disk in your CD drive, open the CD and double click on the file index.htm in the top level of the CD. Many of the links on the CD require an active Internet connection and these links are indicated. Links to material not included on the CD will open in a separate window.
