A very clear explanation of how a voice-recognition system works, with useful diagrams. Very helpful for the System Fundamentals part of the course, and provides an opportunity to discuss analog and digital data too.
This page explains with helpful diagrams how climate models work, the kind of variables that are models, and provides a good basis for a discussion on what might be missing.
Shows with simple diagrams how climate models have developed from the 1970s to the present day. Useful for a discussion of what items might be missing from a model/simulation, the reasons for this, and the way our improved knowledge hopefully brings improved simulations.
