A former professional level climate modeling package has been turned into an educational modeling example and option to do climate modeling research for students. Called the Educational Global Climate Model, EdGCM, it is a user-friendly, open-source program students can use and work with. We recently had a student figure out how to run the program, and this is a sample video presentation of what he did.
For computer savvy students wanting to pursue climate science and modeling, where they can control and change numerous environmental parameters and then run simulations to determine predicted outcomes from the science mathematical models within EdGCM, they can actually do the research!
