A Two Dimensional Global Climatic Model

Abstract

A two-dimensional horizontal box model of the global climate is being expanded to include a hydrologic cycle. Output variables would include cloud cover, relative humidity, and precipitation and evaporation rates. The proposed hydrologic cycle is outlined and a flow diagram for the complete model is presented.
