climate-model

• Climate model for my Earth Systems 2020/2021 unit, written in R.
• It's very much not a useful or realistic model outside of this context, but provides an interesting example of me putting unneeded effort into what should have been a fairly simple coursework project.

Usage

• To run the model, execute the 10Combined.r file, which imports all other files
• It's designed to be used in RStudio/vs-code, and includes the requesite project files for both
• No libraries are required for the default configuration, although ggplot2 is required for graph drawing
• By default, when executed the model will 11 times with a series of different configurations. To modify these, edit the runMultipleModels() list in 6Interface.r. It will also create a table with the columns that were required for the unit, as well as a number of other outputs that vary on a yearly basis over the run of the model.
• Chart drawing is disabled by default, but if required two example ggplot2 charts are included at the bottom of 6Interface.r
• Default config variables can be found in 4Config.r and are documented there. All variables in the CONFIG list can be modified on a per-run basis when using runMultipleModels() by passing a override table. It is recommended to keep runYears and startYear constant for comparison purposes, but it will still run if these are changed
