{"product_id":"9781118687857","title":"A Climate Modelling Primer","description":"As a consequence of recent increased awareness of the social and political dimensions of climate, many non-specialists discover a need for information about the variety of available climate models. \u003ci\u003eA Climate Modelling Primer, Third Edition\u003c\/i\u003e explains the basis and mechanisms of all types of current physically-based climate models. \u003cp\u003eA thoroughly revised and updated edition, this book assists the reader in understanding the complexities and applicabilities of today’s wide range of climate models. Topics covered include the latest techniques for modelling the coupled biosphere-ocean-atmosphere system, information on current practical aspects of climate modelling and ways to evaluate and exploit the results, discussion of Earth System Models of Intermediate Complexity (EMICs), and interactive exercises based on Energy Balance Model (EBM) and the Daisyworld model. Source codes and results from a range of model types allows readers to make their own climate simulations and to view the results of the latest high resolution models.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe accompanying CD contains:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eA suite of resources for those wishing to learn more about climate modelling.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA range of model visualisations.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eData from climate models for use in the classroom.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWindows and Macintosh programs for an Energy Balance Model.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSelected figures from the book for inclusion in presentations and lectures.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e Suitable for 3\u003csup\u003erd\u003c\/sup\u003e\/4\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e year undergraduates taking courses in climate modelling, economic forecasting, computer science, environmental science, geography and oceanography.
