Dear colleagues,
we like introduce to you a Test Version of the web-based interactive
Monash Simple Climate Model:
<http://maths-simpleclimatemodel-dev.maths.monash.edu/>
The Monash simple climate model is based on the Globally Resolved Energy
Balance (GREB) model, which is a climate model published by Dommenget
and Floeter [Climate Dynamics 2011]. It can compute global climate
simulations of one year in about 1 second on a normal PC computer.
Despite its simplicity the model simulates the climate response to
external forcings, such as doubling of the CO2 concentrations very
realistically (similar to state of the art climate models).
The Monash simple climate model web-interface allows you to study the
results of more than a 1000 different model experiments in an
interactive way and it allows you to study a number of tutorials on the
interactions of physical processes in the climate system. By switching
OFF/ON physical processes you can deconstruct the climate and learn how
all the different processes interact to generate the observed climate
and how the processes interact to generate the IPCC predicted climate
change for anthropogenic CO2 increase. We thinks this should be a good
learning tool for university and high school students, but also for the
general public and researchers as well.
A good starting point to get an idea for how this web-interface works is
to try one of the tutorials on the webpage:
<http://maths-simpleclimatemodel-dev.maths.monash.edu/greb/cgi-bin/dmc.py>
A short introduction information is given in the following pdf-file:
<http://maths-simpleclimatemodel-dev.maths.monash.edu/greb/MSCM.short.introd
uction.pdf>
We hope you enjoy playing around with his interface and we would very
much like to get feedback from you, as we are still developing this
tool. In particular if you find some errors, have suggestions,
improvements or if you like to contribute to the development of this
Monash Simple Climate Model.
Best regards and enjoy your holidays!
