C³ : Climate - Code - Computation

A collection of teaching resources for computational climatology, including coding exercises (Fortran and Python ) organised into jupyter notebooks.

Contents:

1. Exercises

1.1 Energy Balance Model

• Description: A simple 1D energy balance model that lets you calculate Earth's mean global temperature.
• Notebook Implementations: Fortran and Python

1.2 Wildfire Model (Euler Method)

• Description: A simple 2D model that relies on the Euler method to simulate wildfire spread.
• Notebook Implementations: Fortran and Python

1.3 Wildfire Model (Cellular Automaton)

• Description: A simple cellular automaton model to simulate wildfire spread.
• Notebook Implementations: Fortran and Python

1.4 Moutain Wave Model

• Description: A simple model for prediction mountain waves and associated precipitation.
• Notebook Implementations: Fortran and Python

2. Supplemental Code

A separate .py and .f90 is provided with each notebook. These contain the code decoupled from the notebook.
