ATM 515 Earth Systems Modeling

Credits: (3-0) 3

This course provides the background for earth systems and climate modeling, with student projects on 0-D, and 2-D models. The course will cover: radiation balance, climate feedback mechanisms, greenhouse gases, biogeochemical coupling, land and ocean surface processes, ecosystems, ocean circulations, and sea ice. Course will include familiarization of systems modeling using the STELLA modeling package. Students will also collaborate to develop components of a larger modeling project. Includes a laboratory component.
