Course Overview

Global Warming II: Create Your Own Models in Python Certification Course is an elaborate depiction of all the concepts surrounding the application of Python programming for conducting an in-depth analysis of Global Warming. It provides an opportunity for candidates to work on different Python programming exercises wherein they shall explore how numerical modelling is put to use in studying climate sciences and the Earth system.

The successor course to Global Warming I: The Science and Modeling of Climate Change has been crafted for beginners in Python programming and thus provides significant knowledge of the same. During the course lectures, learners will discover easy ways to grasp the intermediate knowledge of Python syntax. This course also provides mid-course quizzes and readings to ensure that extra amount of knowledge which would benefit the students in their learning.

The course has been designed by experts from the University of Chicago under the ambit of Environmental Science and Sustainability under a further broad ambit of Physical Science and Engineering. The university has been known for imbibing new ways of thinking among its learners and thus offers them a lucid practical and conceptual experience of sparking a change in the world with the learnings.

What you will learn

Knowledge of Python

Global Warming II: Create Your Own Models in Python Certification Course is another fundamental learning programme by Coursera that focuses on one very prominent application of Python apart from numerous others. It seeks to appraise learners with the overlapping interplay of Physical Science, Python programming, and Climate Change along with the calculation of the effect of each phenomenon. In this course, candidates shall receive a subjective insight on-

Generating simple linear parameterisation functions of the latitude to which ice forms as well as planetary albedo.
Using spreadsheets and Python for performing simple numerical calculations on certain topics related to Earth System Science.
Using Iteration to find consistent values of T and albedo for a given value of the Solar Constant, L, showing the impact of the ice-albedo feedback on Earth's temperature.
Determining the shape of the ice sheet by the relationship between the flow rate of the ice and ice surface slope.
