A Vast Machine
I read Paul Edward’s A Vast Machine this summer while working with Steve Easterbrook. It was highly relevant to my research, but I would recommend it to anyone interested in climate change or...

How do climate models work?
Also published at Skeptical Science This is a climate model: T = [(1-α)S/(4εσ)]1/4 (T is temperature, α is the albedo, S is the incoming solar radiation, ε is the emissivity, and σ is the...

A New Kind of Science
Cross-posted from NextGen Journal Ask most people to picture a scientist at work, and they’ll probably imagine someone in a lab coat and safety goggles, surrounded by test tubes and Bunsen burners. If...

A Simple Stochastic Climate Model: Deriving the Backbone
Last time I introduced the concept of a simple climate model which uses stochastic techniques to simulate uncertainty in our knowledge of the climate system. Here I will derive the backbone of this...

A Simple Stochastic Climate Model: Climate Sensitivity
I haven’t forgotten about this project! Read the introduction and ODE derivation if you haven’t already. Last time I derived the following ODE for temperature T at time t: where S and τ are constants,...
