Argomenti del programma: MODULE I 1. Introduction. The course begins with an introduction to the climate system and its mean state. Students will become familiar with the spatial and temporal scales of climate, the geographical representation of climate data, and the principal atmospheric, oceanic, and land variables used to describe the state of the climate system. 2. Simple Climate Energy Balance Models.

Argomenti del programma: The course introduces the main concepts and mechanisms of natural climate variability, combining theoretical foundations with practical data analysis and simple climate modelling. A strong practical component runs throughout the course. Using Python, students will analyse observational climate datasets, apply statistical methods to characterize climate variability, and develop, calibrate, and evaluate low-order…
