Introduction#
Welcome to “How to konrad”! This collection of Python code is meant to serve as a brief introduction and overview over the usage of the one-dimensional radiative-convective equilibrium (RCE) model konrad.
“The purpose of a model such as ours is not to produce a comprehensive simluation but to gain insight into the behavior of more complex models and, perhaps, into the behaviour of the climate system itself.”
- Somerville and Remer [1984]
Idea#
The idea of this book is to guide the user through their first steps of using konrad. The tutorials will introduce various different ways to configure RCE simulations and how to use them to gain conceptual insights into the climate system.
Installation#
You can install the latest konrad version directly from
PyPI using pip:
python -m pip install konrad
Please have a look at our repository for more detailed information on how to install konrad on macOS or for Python 3.9+.
