Energy Balance Climate Models

An introductory survey of the global energy balance climate models is presented with an emphasis on analytical results. A sequence of increasingly complicated models involving ice cap and radiative feed-back processes are solved, and the solutions and parameter sensitivities are studied. The model p...
