  • What is the ice-albedo feedback and why model it?

    The ice-albedo feedback is computationally simple to model, and it is extremely important to understanding the nature of negative feedbacks.

    The Ice Albedo feedback is a negative feedback, meaning that it acts as a stabilizer in the global climate system. It is also one of the most important feedbacks to understand when talking about climate change because its impact is heavily dependent on the rate of ice-melt into the sea.... [Read More]

  • Using the stefan-boltzmann equation to create a zero-dimensional climate model.

    Using the stefan-boltzmann equation and simple algebra the temperature of a "naked" earth can be easily solved for.

    As objects get hotter they lose energy quicker. This simple fact is known intuitively to any human being who has touched a hot pan by accident and used cold water to alleviate the pain. While in this scenario the heat is being transferred through physical contacts of the systems involved,... [Read More]

    Posted on June 27, 2023

    Introduction to Deep Learning & Optimization Techniques A growing body of climate modeling research is attempting to infuse “deep learning” into the mechanisms of climate models. In theory deep learning could offer a computationally efficient way to represent certain processes more accurately. Especially for processes that are currently parameterized, deep... [Read More]
