Collecting information about usage of climlab

[brian-rose]

If you are using climlab (for teaching, research, publications, outreach, or anything else!), we want to know about it!

I would like to start keeping a collection of links and references to use cases. This will be helpful information for my funders (NSF), but also could be a great resource for new users looking to see climlab in action.

Entirely voluntary, but feel free to add your own use cases as comments in this thread. I will leave the issue open indefinitely.

[brian-rose]

For classroom content, I currently have two overlapping collections of Jupyter notebooks:

• Graduate-level lecture notes at https://github.com/brian-rose/ClimateModeling_courseware
• Undergraduate-level lecture notes at http://www.atmos.albany.edu/facstaff/brose/classes/ENV415_Spring2018/handouts/ (git repo for these notes is here

[brian-rose]

Publications that use climlab include:

• Rose et al. (2017), Ice Caps and Ice Belts: The Effects of Obliquity on Ice−Albedo Feedback, Astrophys. J. 846, doi:10.3847/1538-4357/aa8306
• Rencurrel and Rose (2018), Exploring the climatic response to wide variations in ocean heat transport on an aquaplanet, J. Climate 31, doi:10.1175/JCLI-D-17-0856.1

[brian-rose]

The CLIMLAB meta-description paper is now published in JOSS. Please cite this paper in any publication that benefits from this software:

Rose, (2018). CLIMLAB: a Python toolkit for interactive, process-oriented climate modeling. Journal of Open Source Software, 3(24), 659, https://doi.org/10.21105/joss.00659

I use climlab in an upper-division undergraduate course at UC Santa Cruz. Thanks for the resource!

[vonw]

I'm using your graduate-level tutorials for demonstrations in a senior-level undergraduate course on "Climate Change Science and Engineering" at Washington State University; 2-layer atmosphere, EBMs, and Insolation (from Milankovitch forcing). You've put together a really nice set of notebooks! Thanks!

[BenniSchmiedel]

I used the solar insolation and orbital parameters in my Bachelors Thesis on 1-D-EBMs. Possibly my work will be made accessible on the website of the Institut for Environmental Physics, University of Heidelberg, for example for teaching purposes. Your Package was excellent to work with! Maybe I will implement more of your function in the future. Thanks!

I'm using climlab and parts of your course notes for my "climate modelling and change" course in the ICTP diploma (diploma.ictp.it) - thanks so much for a great resource. Adrian Tompkins

I'm using your climlab as a wrapper for the RRTMG radiation code, and hope to eventually contribute to integrating @ddbkoll's PyRADS module into climlab's suite of radiation codes. I'm fairly new to code development... so bear with me.

Bringing PyRADS into the fold is also on my radar screen. Happy to chat about it. I opened some issues and PRs in the PyRADS repo related to packaging and Python 3 compatibility. Pushing those forward would probably be a good place to start.

Excellent! Coincidentally, @ddbkoll and I just met and talked about this. @ddbkoll is even newer to github than me so he made me a collaborator and I'll try to handle the issues and pull requests as best I can.

[LyssaFreese]

Also using it as a wrapper for RRTMG radiation code but to look at Antarctic radiation and advection. It's been so helpful!

[kls2177]

I use climlab in my graduate Climate Change Science and Modelling course. I'm also playing around with the climlab wrapper for RRTMG this summer with an undergraduate summer intern.

[RichardGFrench]

I'm using many elements of CLIMLAB for an undergraduate course in Planetary Atmospheres and Climates. I'm having students modify some of the parameter inputs so that they can model elements of climates on Venus, Mars, Titan, and exoplanets.

[jakebolewski]

We were influenced by climlab in the redesign of the CliMA model's dynamical core and user facing API's: https://github.com/CliMA/ClimaCore.jl

[AndrewILWilliams]

I used Climlab to do some idealized modelling with RRTMG here, reproducing some of Jake Seeley's work.

Updating that this was used for my paper, Antarctic Radiative and Temperature Responses to a Doubling of CO2, (https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/2021GL093676). The repo is here (https://github.com/lfreese/antarctic-rad)

[danielkoll]

Ben Richards used climlab as a RRTMG radiation wrapper in this paper: Richards, Koll, Cronin (2021), Seasonal Loops Between Local Outgoing Longwave Radiation and Surface Temperature, GRL

The climlab scripts linked in the paper acknowledgements also show how to combine climlab with vertical reanalysis profiles to reproduce satellite OLRs, and how to perform similar global offline radiation calculations.

I have used The Climate Laboratory modules in our graduate level Climate Dynamics (Meteo 570) course at Penn State for the past two years. The students really enjoy the interactive aspect for homework assignments.

[m-kreuzer]

I have used the Climate Modelling Courseware resources including climlab for a computer lab of a climate modelling course (master) at the University of Potsdam, Germany (summer term 2022). Very valuable material, thanks a lot!

[emmleroy]

We are having students use climlab and The Climate Laboratory for one of the problem sets in our Introduction to Climate Science (12.301/12.842) course at MIT. Thanks so much for the resource!

[ceforest]

I have been using ClimLab for the past 4 years in my graduate Climate System Dynamics course. It’s a great resource for students to understand the key concepts.
