Earth Climate
A simple 2 layer radiation balance model of the Earth and its atmosphere.

The model does not include sensible and latent heat fluxes from the earth to the atmosphere. Therefore the temperatures are a few degrees warmer than true global average temperatures. A simple hack to get the temperatures more realistic: decrease the shortwave transmittance of the atmosphere by 0.04.
