0-D Energy Balance & Ice–Albedo
Budyko-style (1−α)S/4 = εσT⁴ with icy vs clear albedo, freeze/melt hysteresis when S is swept, and optional smooth α(T) relaxation.
Urban Heat Island Energy Balance
Two 0-D surface slabs: albedo, heat capacity, anthropogenic heat, radiative/turbulent cooling; urban–rural ΔT and day/night lag.
Daisyworld (Climate Regulation)
Black and white daisies compete on bare ground, shifting planetary albedo; compare T(L) with a lifeless rock and watch homeostasis in a toy Watson–Lovelock model.
ENSO Delayed Oscillator (Toy)
Scalar delay differential equation ẋ = a·x(t−τ) − b·x − c·x³ + seasonal forcing: explore El Niño– / La Niña–like swings vs damping in a Suarez–Schopf–style cartoon.
Rossby Waves on a Beta-Plane
Linear planetary wave ψ = A cos(kx+ly−ωt) with ω = −βk/(k²+l²+Rd⁻²): streamfunction bands and geostrophic arrows show westward phase propagation.
Geostrophic Balance & Thermal Wind
Pressure-gradient force balanced by Coriolis: isobars set geostrophic wind, while meridional temperature gradients produce vertical shear between 1000 and 300 hPa.
