Coupled EBM Meeting Update 08/05

\frac{dN}{dt}=r(T)*N
\frac{dP}{dt}=\epsilon N - \omega
\frac{dT}{dt}=EBM(pCO2, T_{0})
Link to REU Paper describing Summary of Work Done This Summer (so far)
Progress: Calibrated our model with population and CO2 data from the past two centuries, summed up in the table below.

\Delta t (yrs) 0 140 190 198
t=time (yrs) 1820 1960 2010 2018
N=Population (10^{9} ppl) 1.042 3.032 6.834 7.594
P=pCO2 (ppm) 284 316 390 413

increase the accuracy of modeling earth
- find true temperature dependence on the growth rate
- find more accurate value for \omega(=reduction of CO2 by earth's natural weathering processes)
determine the climate sensitivity of various energy resources
- can let us determine the inevitability of global warming
put a dTdt dependence on the deathrate
- to quantify acclimation
introduce parameter E as a proxy for technology
- will raise peak of relative growth rate (r)
- will increase the average carbon footprint (\epsilon)
