The modeling of past, present and future climates is of fundamental importance to the issue of climate change and variability. Climate Change and Climate Modeling provides a solid foundation for science students in all disciplines for our current understanding of global warming and important natural climate variations such as El Niño, and lays out the essentials of how climate models are constructed. As issues of climate change and impacts of climate variability become increasingly important, climate scientists must reach out to science students from a range of disciplines. Climate models represent one of our primary tools for predicting and adapting to climate change.An understanding of their strengths and limitations - and of what aspects of climate science are well understood and where quantitative uncertainties arise - can be communicated very effectively to students from a broad range of the sciences. This book will provide a basis for students to make informed decisions concerning climate change, whether they go on to study atmospheric science at a higher level or not. The book has been developed over a number of years from the course that the author teaches at UCLA. It has been extensively class-tested by hundreds of students, and assumes no previous background in atmospheric science except basic calculus and physics. This book: -provides a solid understanding of the physical climate system and the underpinnings of current climate assessments -provides a bridge between introductory textbooks and popular science books on climate change, and advanced textbooks on atmospheric science -is supported by a range of internet resources
