Descriptions
Global Warming II: Build Your Own Models in Python. This course provides a series of Python programming exercises designed to explore the use of numerical modeling in the Earth system and climate sciences. The scientific background of these models is presented in a companion course, Global Warming I: The Science and Modeling of Climate Change. This course assumes that you are new to Python programming (and this is indeed a great way to learn Python!), but you are able to gain a basic knowledge of Python syntax from another course or online tutorials.
This course is intended to complement a Coursera course called “Global Warming I: The Science and Modeling of Climate Change,” which presents much of the background of the material covered here. In this course, you will use spreadsheets (maybe) and Python (definitely) to perform some simple numerical calculations on topics in Earth system science. The model you will be working on this week is based on material from Unit 3 of this class, called “First Climate Model.”
What you will learn
- Time-dependent energy balance model
