How do I cite/reference/credit EdGCM?
EdGCM is a tool for research and should be cited with any results. If you wish to provide a citation, credit, or reference to EdGCM, the following suggestions might help. To credit the project/software/website, use The EdGCM Cooperative Project of Columbia University http://edgcm.columbia.edu In a case where you are making a specific reference to the climate model that is run by EdGCM, the credit goes to “NASA/GISS and Columbia University”. Note the following sample statement: “The climate model at the core of EdGCM was developed at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) and is an updated version of the GISS Model II described in Hansen et al., 1983.” As the model may change with bug fixes and improvements, we suggest you provide the version of EdGCM used in your research.
To reference EdGCM, the Educational Global Climate Modeling software, use the following citation Chandler, M.A., S.J. Richards, and M.J. Shopsin, 2005: EdGCM: Enhancing climate science education through climate modeling research projects. In Proceedings of the 85th Annual Meeting of the American Meteorological Society, 14th Symposium on Education, Jan 8-14, 2005, San Diego, CA, pp. P1.5. http://edgcm.columbia.edu The reference describing the NASA/GISS Model II global climate model that EdGCM runs is Hansen, J., G. Russell, D. Rind, P. Stone, A. Lacis, S. Lebedeff, R. Ruedy, and L. Travis, 1983: Efficient three-dimensional global models for climate studies: Models I and II. M. Weather Rev., 111, 609-662, doi:10.1175/1520-0493(1983)111<0609:ETDGMF>2.0.CO;2.
