Also published at Skeptical Science This is a climate model: T = [(1-α)S/(4εσ)]1/4 (T is temperature, α is the albedo, S is the incoming solar radiation, ε is the emissivity, and σ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant) An extremely simplified climate model, that is. It’s one line long, and is at the heart of every computer [...]

My summer job as a research student of Steve Easterbrook is nearing an end. All of a sudden, I only have a few days left, and the weather is (thankfully) cooling down as autumn approaches. It feels like just a few weeks ago that this summer was beginning! Over the past three months, I examined [...]

The shape of my summer research is slowly becoming clearer. Basically, I’ll be writing a document comparing the architecture of different climate models. This, of course, involves getting access to the source code. Building on Steve’s list, here are my experiences: NCAR, Community Earth System Model (CESM): Password-protected, but you can get access within an [...]
