Greg and Stefanie visited Victoria University Wellington on April 10th 2014 to present a Simple Climate Model which was developed at Bodeker Scientific. The Simple Climate Model is written in Python and can be used as a teaching tool. The model tracks the causal path from emissions to
changes in concentrations to radiative forcing to sea-level rise. It can
be used to do fun things like calculate GWPs. It's all packaged
up nicely including all required documentation and background theory.
Because python is freely available, students can tinker with the code as
they please. We presented the Simple Climate Model in form of a tutorial, talking the students and staff attending the tutorial through the model with
them having their notebook computers open in front of them. We were working
through the code in real-time to see how it all works and this was accompanied by a power point presentation explaining the theory behind it. To find out more about the Simple Climate Model, click here. |
