S-shapedness for energy balance climate models of Sellers-Type

  • Conference paper
The Mathematics of Models for Climatology and Environment

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASII,volume 48))

Abstract

Climate models are distinguished by the relative importance they attach to the different components and processes of the climate system. One finds the so-called energy balance climate models at the bottom on a scale of models of increasing complexity, and coupled general circulation models of atmosphere and oceans at the top on that scale.
