AOSC 684 - Climate System Modeling

PREREQUISITES:

• None

DESCRIPTION: Fundamentals in building computer models to simulate the components of the climate system: atmosphere, ocean ice, land-surface, terrestrial and marine ecosystems, and the biogeochemical cycles embedded in the physical climate system, in particular, the carbon cycle. Simple to state-of-the-ar t research models to tackle problems such as the Daisy World, El Nino and global warming.
