Moist Energy Balance Model (mebm)

License: GPL v3

About

This repository contains a simple Python package for a moist energy balance model (mebm). The model is used in Peterson and Boos (2020) to analyze feedbacks and eddy diffusivity in the context of tropical rainfall shifts. Features include

  • Easily customizable initial conditions, albedo, insolation, and outgoing longwave radiation schemes
  • Efficient and scalable multigrid numerical scheme
  • Ability to perturb insolation (as in Clark et al. 2018) and analyze energy flux equator (EFE) shifts.
