The Hector Simple Climate Model
This is the repository for Hector, an open source, object-oriented,
simple global climate carbon-cycle model that runs very quickly while
still representing the most critical global scale earth system
processes. Hector is a simple climate model (SCM, also known as a
reduced-complexity climate model), a class of models that are extremely
versatile with a wide range of applications. Due to their computational
efficiency, SCMs can easily be coupled to other models and used to
design scenarios, emulate more complex climate models, and conduct
uncertainty analyses.
Hector’s output for global mean air temperature change for eight Shared
Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs).
The hector R package can be installed using theremotes::install_github function. More detailed installation
instructions, including how to set up Hector as a command line
executable, can be found here.
