Level 1-2 energy balance model with one layer atmospheric effects is found many places, I used the specific values found in Eli Tziperman's Global Warming Science: https://courses.seas.harvard.edu/clim...
Level 3 model considering variable albedo code adapted from here: https://iow-lectures.pages.io-warnemu...
Level 4 one-dimensional model with lattitude bands more explanation here: https://www.e-education.psu.edu/meteo... and you can find MATLAB code for the model here: https://math.nyu.edu/~kleeman/one_dim...
