Descriptif

This course demonstrates the physical processes that drive the climate system and how they interact with each other in climate models. The course is divided into two parts: physical and chemical models. In the first part, we will briefly review the structure of all components of the climate system and explore the main factors that disrupt the system's equilibrium (climate forcing). Then, we will consider the climate system's sensitivity to different types of forcing and focus specifically on the system's responses to forcing and the associated climate feedbacks. With this knowledge, we will move on to climate system modeling. We will review all types of climate models—from simple energy balance models to highly complex general circulation models. This will be supplemented by several practical exercises in which we will conduct simple experiments with energy balance models and interpret the results of these experiments (15 hours).
