Publisher's Synopsis
How to Model Climate: An Analytical Approach is a holistic textbook devoted to properly modeling climate for scientists and engineers of every level. The book begins with first principle laws of physics, states assumptions, and derives a climate model for calculating the average surface temperature of the Earth. The text enables the reader to build the climate model on their personal computer allowing for parametric analyses of complex climate problems. The text delves into the complexity of climate effects from carbon dioxide emissions and leads the reader through hypotheses as to the reason behind ice ages. In the end, the reader not only has a deep understanding of the non-linear nature of climate change but also has the tools to perform their own analyses to push the field of climate science.
