2. 1-076-ClimateBifurcation-ModelingScenario

   12 Jun 2022 | Teaching Materials | Contributor(s):

   By Mayer Humi

   We cover simple zero and one dimensional models for the mean temperature of the Earth. These models can exhibit bifurcations.

5. 1-114-EarthClimate-ModelingScenario

   22 May 2022 | Teaching Materials | Contributor(s):

   By Terrance Pendleton

   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...
