Daisyworld is the name of a model developed by Andrew Watson and James Lovelock (published in 1983) to demonstrate how organisms could inadvertently regulate their environment. [1] The model simulates a fictional planet (called Daisyworld ) which is experiencing slow global warming due to the brightening of the Sun.
The game models the Gaia hypothesis of James Lovelock (who assisted with the design and wrote an introduction to the manual), and one of the options available to the player is the simplified "Daisyworld" model. [4] SimEarth screenshot, IBM PC version. In this simulated planet, radiates have developed sentience and are beginning to form ...
Daisyworld examines the energy budget of a planet populated by two different types of plants, black daisies and white daisies, which are assumed to occupy a significant portion of the surface. The colour of the daisies influences the albedo of the planet such that black daisies absorb more light and warm the planet, while white daisies reflect ...

An exact calculation using the MODTRAN model, over all wavelengths and including methane and ozone greenhouse gasses, as shown in the plot above, gives, for tropical latitudes, an outgoing flux = 298.645 W/m 2 for current CO 2 levels and = 295.286 W/m 2 after CO 2 doubling, i.e. a radiative forcing of 1.1%, under clear sky conditions, as well ...

LAPMOD (Italy) – The LAPMOD (LAgrangian Particle MODel) modeling system is developed by Enviroware and it is available for free. [3] LAPMOD is a Lagrangian partile model fully coupled to the diagnostic meteorological model CALMET and can be used to simulate the dispersion of inert pollutants as well as odors and radioactive substances.
