# CLimate Analysis using Digital Estimations (CLAuDE)
The tool which we'll use to accomplish this is CLimate Analysis using Digital Estimations (CLAuDE), an intuitive,
simplistic model of atmospheric dynamics.
**The purpose of CLAuDE is to be:**
- versatile, such that users customise which modules of code will be used in a given simulation
- a teaching tool, both for programming and climate physics
- accessible, designed to run even on basic machines with appropriate parameters
**Objectives**
- Modular, so users can customise the complexity of the model and write their own modules.
- To answer questions through YouTube videos about hypothetical planets, that would use the output of CLAuDE
Beyond these goals, we hope that it can become a useful resource for teachers and students discussing climate
and atmospheric dynamics.
### Community
**Discord**
If you wish to discuss CLAuDE and other things related to climate and atmospheric dynamics, feel free
to join the [Dr. Simon Clark Discord Server](https://discord.gg/SZu6e2F).
**YouTube**
Simon creates videos about climate and atmospheric dynamics, as well as videos hypothesising
if fictional planets could be a reality, based of what we currently know.
If you think you'd enjoy this videos, you can watch him [here](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRRr_xrOm66qaigIbwFLvbQ).
**Twitch**
CLAuDE is currently being developed on Wednesday [Twitch](https://twitch.tv/drsimonclark) streams every week!
