I am searching for a mac or IBM program which simulates the
relationship between the earth's orbit and it's climate. The program should
preferably be interactive, thus allowing the student to experiment and discover
for herself why summertime is hotter than winter. The variables include the
tilt of the earth, the shape of the orbit (when it reaches perihilion), and
also the albedo (reflectivity). This program will be used in conjunction with
a course at Princeton University for undergraduates. If you know of anything
along these lines please e-mail me at
Anders at Phoenix.princeton.edu
Thank you very much for you forthcoming assistance.
