Homework Assignment #1 for EES 3310/5310

This homework assignment involves exercises about layer models from Chapter 3 in Global Warming: Understanding the Forecast.

• Undergraduate students should do exercises 2--3.
• Graduate students should do all three exercises 1--3.

The homework is due at the beginning of class on Monday Sept. 4. You have the choice of doing this homework either:

• As traditional homework, in which case you don't need these files and you can turn your homework in at the beginning of class on Sept. 4.

• As RMarkdown, in which case you can use the file homework_01.Rmd as a template.

  If you turn in the homework as RMarkdown:

  • Clone a local copy of the file repository from github.

  • In your local repository, answer the exercises in the template homework_01.Rmd.

  • When you are done, knit your .Rmd file into a PDF file.

  • Use git to commit your changes (including the edits to homework_01.Rmd and the new PDF file) to your local git repository.

  • Push the changes from your local git repository to github.

    The last changes that you push before the due date (start of class on Monday Sept. 4) will be graded.

I advise using git to commit changes frequently as you work and push those commits to github.
