β¦ Synopsis
As a consequence of recent increased awareness of the social andpolitical dimensions of climate, many non-specialists discover aneed for information about the variety of available climate models.A Climate Modelling Primer, Fourth Edition is designed toexplain the basis and mechanisms of all types of currentphysically-based climate models.
A thoroughly revised and updated edition, this book will assistthe reader in understanding the complexities and applicabilities oftodayβs wide range of climate models. Topics covered includethe latest techniques for modelling the coupledbiosphere-ocean-atmosphere system, information on current practicalaspects of climate modelling and ways to evaluate and exploit theresults, discussion of Earth System Models of IntermediateComplexity (EMICs), and interactive exercises based on EnergyBalance Model (EBM) and the Daisyworld model. Source codes andresults from a range of model types allows readers to make theirown climate simulations and to view the results of the latest highresolution models. Now in full colour throughout and with theaddition of cartoons to enhance student understanding the newedition of this successful textbook enables the student to tacklethe difficult subject of climate modeling.
