RT Journal Article T1 A nonlinear parabolic problem on a Riemannian manifold without boundary arising in climatology A1 Díaz Díaz, Jesús Ildefonso A1 Tello, L. AB We present some results on the mathematical treatment of a global twodimensional diffusive climate model. The model is based on a long time averaged energy balance and leads to a nonlinear parabolic equation for the averaged surface temperature. The spatial domain is a compact two-dimensional Riemannian manifold without boundary simulating the Earth. We prove the existence of bounded weak solutions via a fixed point argument. Although, the uniqueness of solutions may fail, in general, we give a uniqueness criterion in terms of the behaviour of the solution near its “ice caps”.
