A comprehensive analysis of all the components of the climate system (atmosphere, ocean,
ice sheets, etc) and of all the interactions between them is out of the scope of any course or …

To better understand the earth's climate, climate models are constructed by expressing the
physical laws, which govern climate mathematically, solving the resulting equations, and …

Modelling the climate is notoriously difficult and generally associated with high-dimensional
general circulation models that may be quite unwieldy from the mathematical perspective. At …

This textbook presents all aspects of climate system dynamics, on all timescales from the
Earth's formation to modern human-induced climate change. It discusses the dominant …

Modeling is a central concept, a central tool in climate research. Models are telling us how
the future may develop in the next 100 years, the public is told by some experts, while others …

Understanding the Earth's climate system and predicting its behavior under a range of “what
if” scenarios are among the greatest challenges for science today. The stakes are high, and …

Climate is a complex dynamical system, whose understanding is a fascinating scientific
challenge which has crucial implications on our society. Like any science, the study of …

Many excellent textbooks describe the physics of climate and give an introduction to the
processes that interact and feedback to produce the earth's weather and climate [178, 79 …

The societal need for reliable climate predictions and a proper assessment of their
uncertainties is pressing. Uncertainties arise not only from initial conditions and forcing …
