Climate Science operators

5 operators in the climate_science category of the live registry. Compose them in a contract or call POST /api/zeq/compute — KO42 is always on, plus up to three more per call.

How it computes: dedicated closed-form solver solveTD — real equations over CODATA-2018 constants; where an operator needs a series/matrix/field a scalar cannot express, it refuses honestly. See the solvers.

OperatorDescriptionEquation
CLIM_CLAUSIUS_CLAPEYRONClausius-Clapeyron relation describing the exponential increase of saturation vapor pressure with temperature.\frac{de_s}{dT} = \frac{L_v e_s}{R_v T^2}
CLIM_ENERGY_BALANCEZero-dimensional energy balance model for global mean surface temperature under radiative equilibrium.C \frac{dT}{dt} = \frac{S_0}{4}(1-\alpha) - \epsilon \sigma T^4
CLIM_LAPSE_RATEDry adiabatic lapse rate giving the temperature decrease with altitude for unsaturated air parcels.\Gamma_d = -\frac{dT}{dz} = \frac{g}{c_p} \approx 9.8 \; \text{K/km}
CLIM_RADIATIVE_FORCINGRadiative forcing equation relating CO2 concentration change to the net energy flux perturbation at the tropopause.\Delta F = 5.35 \cdot \ln\left(\frac{C}{C_0}\right) \quad [\text{W/m}^2]
CLIM_STEFAN_BOLTZMANNStefan-Boltzmann law for planetary equilibrium temperature assuming blackbody radiation balance.T_{eq} = \left(\frac{S_0 (1-\alpha)}{4 \sigma}\right)^{1/4}

Compute one — a real call​

Ask the operator which inputs it needs (the honesty contract refuses empty inputs rather than inventing them):

curl -sS -X POST https://zeqsdk.com/api/zeq/operator-spec \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"operator":"CLIM_CLAUSIUS_CLAPEYRON"}'
