Written by renowned experts in the field, this first book to focus
exclusively on energy balance climate models provides a concise
overview of the topic. It covers all major aspects, from the
simplest zero-dimensional models, proceeding to horizontally and
vertically resolved models. The text begins with global average
models, which are explored in terms of their elementary forms
yielding the global average temperature, right up to the
incorporation of feedback mechanisms and some analytical properties
of interest. The effect of stochastic forcing is then used to
introduce natural variability in the models before turning to the
concept of stability theory. Other one dimensional or zonally
averaged models are subsequently presented, along with various
applications, including chapters on paleoclimatology, the inception
of continental glaciations, detection of signals in the climate
system, and optimal estimation of large scale quantities from point
scale data. Throughout the book, the authors work on two
mathematical levels: qualitative physical expositions of the
subject material plus optional mathematical sections that include
derivations and treatments of the equations along with some proofs
of stability theorems. A must-have introduction for policy makers,
environmental agencies, and NGOs, as well as climatologists,
molecular physicists, and meteorologists.
