A hands-on approach to climate physics and climate modeling
By Brian E. J. Rose, University at Albany
This book is powered by MyST Markdown and JupyterBook 2, and aims to be all of the following:
- self-reproducing (most figures are self-generating in the notebooks)
- free and open (permissive license, sources and content available through github)
- interactive (integration with JupyterHub and Binder allows readers to run and modify code examples)
- a living document (content continues to evolve, and collaboration is welcome)
The material is mostly based on lecture notes for ENV 415: Climate Laboratory and ATM 623: Climate Modeling at the University at Albany.
To view the book online, go here.
The JupyterBook source and all book content (mostly Jupyter Notebook files) are all in this github repository.
Much of the content is made possible by climlab, an open-source Python toolkit for interactive, process-oriented climate modeling. Brian Rose is the principle developer of climlab as well as the author of this book.
