| dc.description.abstract | Based on research of various climate models and specifically of one dimensional energy balance models (1D EBM), a 2D EBM was created. This model separated the planet into zones with different latitude and longitude coordinates. Each zone's temperature was calculated by taking into account incident/outgoing solar radiation and heat transfer between adjacent zones. The global average temperature of the Earth could also be calculated. Other features like day/night cycles, seasons, and land/sea zones were also included to add complexity to the model. The final 2D EBM ended up having different temperature values than what was expected. | en_US |
