Climate Balance - 1-D Latitudinal Energy-Balance Model

A Budyko-Sellers-North diffusive energy-balance model (EBM) solved to radiative-diffusive equilibrium by OnlyCSharp.EarthScience.Climatology.EnergyBalance.LatitudinalEBM. Absorbed shortwave uses Legendre-P2 annual-mean insolation; outgoing longwave is the linearised Budyko form (A + B.T); poleward heat transport is a finite-differenced diffusion term. Every temperature below is computed live at build time (no JavaScript, no runtime).

Sanity check

This is a radiative-diffusive equilibrium, not a hardcoded shape.
