Climate models solve equations describing the earth system. This course provides an overview of climate modeling. Standard climate model approaches and experiments are presented, and then used in companion exercises. This course will provide students with real-world experience running a climate model used internationally for climate science and policy. This course is aimed at upper level undergraduate students. Recommended prerequisite: Experience with programming, Calculus, Differential Equations and Linear Algebra. Recommended restriction: Junior or Senior ATOC students. Same as ATOC 5870.
