ZeroD EBM and EBM

kendal — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 00:38:07 -0700

ZeroD EBM and EBM: The goal of this model is to make some predictions about the global temperature of the earth and to see how this depends on a range of parameters. In particular, we will see how the "greenhouse effect" works and the impact this has on the global temperature.

ZeroD EBM: One method of investigating the effects of changing solar output on the Earth's climate system is to use a globally averaged (zero dimensional) Energy Balance Model (EBM- extends Primer models). (University of Southampton, Jochem Marotzke)

Java climate models

kendal — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 23:56:43 -0700

Four Java models: Daisyworld, EBM, land-surface, and ocean box model. This site is developed for use by educators and the general public. The programs are written in Java based on the BASIC programs in McGuffie and Henderson-Sellers (1997).

Daisyworld

kendal — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 23:37:39 -0700

Daisyworld: The key aspect of Daisyworld is that the two types of daisies have different colors and thus different albedos. In this way, the daisies can alter the temperature of the surface where they are growing. (PennState University, Dave Bice)

The spreadsheet EBM
