Topics covered include the latest techniques for modelling the coupled biosphere-ocean-atmosphere system, information on current practical aspects of climate modelling and ways to evaluate and exploit the results, discussion of Earth System Models of Intermediate Complexity (EMICs), and interactive exercises based on Energy Balance Model (EBM) and the Daisyworld model. Source codes and results from a range of model types allows readers to make their own climate simulations and to view the results of the latest high resolution models. Now in full colour throughout and with the addition of cartoons to enhance student understanding the new edition of this successful textbook enables the student to tackle the difficult subject of climate modeling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFOURTH EDITION \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe CLIMATE MODELLING PRIMER\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKendal McGuffie, \u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003eUniversity of Technology Sydney, Australia\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eAnn Henderson-Sellers, \u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003eMacquarie University, Australia\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClimate modelling affects everyone, everywhere.
