Warning: OpenSCM is still work in progress and cannot be fully used yet! However, we are very grateful for suggestions and critique on how you would like to use this framework. Please have a look at the issues and feel free to create new ones/upvote ones that would really help you.
The Open Simple Climate Model framework unifies access to several simple climate models (SCMs). It defines a standard interface for getting and setting model parameters, input and output data as well as for running the models. Additionally, OpenSCM provides a standardized file format for these parameters and scenarios including functions for reading and writing such files. It further adds convenience functions and easily enables ensemble runs, e.g. for scenario assessment or model tuning.
Being designed as a programming-language agnostic interface and standard in mind, this will be the reference implementation in Python 3.
This OpenSCM implementation comes with a command line tool
openscm.
Detailed documentation is given on ReadTheDocs.
To install OpenSCM run
pip install openscmIf you also want to run the example notebooks install additional dependencies using
pip install openscm[notebooks]OpenSCM comes with model adapters only for some very simple SCMs. If you want to run other models, you will also need to install their dependencies (see ReadTheDocs for a list).
git clone git@github.com:openclimatedata/openscm.git
