The ability to analyze, visualize, and think critically about the results from climate model experiments is becoming an increasingly important component of climate science education. Being able to draw accurate and meaningful conclusions from global climate projections is central to climate literacy and developing appropriate policy. Climate modeling and model analysis, however, is a complex and challenging field with a steep learning curve that presents a significant barrier to entry. This project aims to reduce this barrier by providing carefully designed open-source material to broaden the field and improve climate literacy through hands-on learning and collaborative training. By creating comprehensive interactive material, we can give students the training to succeed in this ever-growing field. Material will be synthesized into a textbook guide that will encompass the basic skills needed to begin working with climate model output from the ground up and progress to more complex skills including running simple energy balance and coupled climate models. Through the use of HackMD and The Binder Project, this textbook will not only contain step by step instructions, clear explanations, but also external resources and worksheet style Jupyter notebooks for skill application and practice. This guide will specifically be integrated into the hands-on, project oriented, Observing and Modeling Climate Change course at Temple University and the Ocean Climate Connections lab lead by Dr. Rebecca Beadling. The guide has the potential to be adapted to benefit many other groups and individuals interested in climate modeling and climate research.
