Role of the hydrological cycle in regulating the planetary climate system of a simple nonlinear dynamical model

We present the construction of a dynamic area fraction model (DAFM), representing a new class of models for an earth-like planet. The model presented here has no spatial dimensions, but contains coupled parameterizations for all the major components of the hydrological cycle involving liquid, solid...
