    1-114-EarthClimate-ModelingScenario
    In this modeling scenario, we investigate the Earth's climate using a zero-dimensional energy balance model. Energy balance models are climate models that try to predict the average surface temperature of the Earth.

    Your goal here is to determine how much friction/damping should be designed into a building to keep the roof from moving too far (which would result in the entire building collapsing) when it undergoes minor vibrations from a small earthquake.
