Pymagicc is a Python wrapper around the reduced complexity climate model
`MAGICC6 `_. It wraps the CC-BY-NC-SA licensed
`MAGICC6 binary `_. Pymagicc itself is BSD-3 licensed.

MAGICC (Model for the Assessment of Greenhouse Gas Induced Climate Change)
is widely used in the assessment of future emissions pathways in climate policy analyses,
e.g. in the Fifth Assessment Report of the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change or to model the physical aspects of climate change in Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs).

Pymagicc makes the MAGICC model easily installable and usable from Python and allows for the easy modification of all MAGICC model parameters and emissions scenarios directly from Python.
In climate research it can, for example, be used in the analysis of mitigation scenarios, in Integrated Assessment Models, complex climate model emulation, and uncertainty analyses, as well as in climate science education and communication.

See `www.magicc.org `_ and `Meinshausen et al. 2011 `_ for further information.

Basic Usage
-----------

.. sec-begin-usage

.. code:: python

    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

    import pymagicc
    import scmdata
    from pymagicc import rcps

    results = []
    for scen in rcps.groupby("scenario"):
        results_scen = pymagicc.run(scen)
        results.append(results_scen)

    results = scmdata.run_append(results)

    temperature_rel_to_1850_1900 = (
        results
        .filter(variable="Surface Temperature", region="World")
        .relative_to_ref_period_mean(year=range(1850, 1900 + 1))
    )

    temperature_rel_to_1850_1900.lineplot()
    plt.title("Global Mean Temperature Projection")
    plt.ylabel("°C over pre-industrial (1850-1900 mean)");
    # Run `plt.show()` to display the plot when running this example
    # interactively or add `%matplotlib inline` on top when in a Jupyter Notebook.

For more example usage see this `Jupyter Notebook `_.
Thanks to the `Binder project `_ the `Notebook `_ can be run and modified without installing anything locally.

.. sec-begin-installation

Installation
------------

::

    pip install pymagicc

On Linux and OS X the original compiled Windows binary available on
``_ and included in Pymagicc
can run using `Wine `_.

On modern 64-bit systems one needs to use the 32-bit version of Wine

::

    sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
    sudo apt-get install wine32

On 32-bit systems Debian/Ubuntu-based systems ``wine`` can be installed with

::

    sudo apt-get install wine

On OS X ``wine`` is available in the Homebrew package manager:

::

    brew install wine

It should also be available in other package managers, as well as directly from the `Wine project `_.

Note that after the first install the first run of Pymagicc might be slow due
to setting up of the `wine` configuration and be accompanied by pop-ups or
debug output.

To run an example session using Jupyter Notebook and Python 3 you can run the
following commands to create a virtual environment ``venv`` and install an
editable version for local development:

.. code:: bash

    git clone https://github.com/openscm/pymagicc.git

    cd pymagicc
    make venv
    ./venv/bin/pip install --editable .
    ./venv/bin/jupyter-notebook notebooks/Example.ipynb

.. sec-end-installation
.. sec-begin-development

Development
-----------

Setup
*****

For local development, install dependencies and an editable version of Pymagicc from a clone or download of the Pymagicc repository with

::

    make venv
    ./venv/bin/pip install --editable .

Running the tests
*****************

To run the tests run

::

    ./venv/bin/pytest tests --verbose

To skip tests which run MAGICC and take longer use

::

    ./venv/bin/pytest tests --skip-slow

To get a test coverage report, run

::

    ./venv/bin/pytest --cov

Conventions
***********

Style
~~~~~

To unify coding style, allowing us to focus more on writing useful code and less time worrying about formatting, `black `_ is used.

To format the files in ``pymagicc`` and ``tests`` as well as ``setup.py`` run

::

    make black

Csvs
~~~~

In our miscellaneous csv's, for example the definitional csv's, we follow the following conventions to make our lives easier:

- column names are all lower case, with underscores as separators (i.e. no spaces)

Dependencies
~~~~~~~~~~~~

A user of pymagicc should be able to pip install and run all of our notebooks.
This means that all of the libraries for running notebooks should be explicit dependencies, rather than being included in an extras requirement.
Whilst this means that we have more dependencies, it makes it easier for end users and avoids extremely cryptic import errors.


Building the documentation
**************************

The docs use Sphinx and can be rebuilt locally in ``docs/builds/html/`` with

::

    make docs

.. sec-end-development

More usage examples
-------------------

.. sec-begin-more-usage

Use an included scenario
************************

.. code:: python

    from pymagicc.scenarios import rcp26

    rcp26.head()

Read a MAGICC scenario file
***************************

.. code:: python

    from pymagicc.scenarios import read_scen_file

    scenario = read_scen_file("PATHWAY.SCEN")

Run MAGICC for a scenario
*************************

.. code:: python

    import pymagicc
    from pymagicc.scenarios import read_scen_file

    scenario = read_scen_file("PATHWAY.SCEN")

    results = pymagicc.run(scenario)

    temperature_rel_to_1850_1900 = (
        results
        .filter(variable="Surface Temperature")
        .relative_to_ref_period_mean(year=range(1850, 1900 + 1))
    )

Using a different MAGICC version
********************************

A custom version of MAGICC may be used with ``pymagicc`` using the
``MAGICC_EXECUTABLE_6`` and ``MAGICC_EXECUTABLE_7`` environment variables for MAGICC6
and MAGICC7 respectively. These environment variables should be set to the
location of the magicc executable (either ``magicc`` for linux/mac or
``magicc.exe`` for Windows).
For example, a custom MAGICC7 folder located at ``/tmp/magicc`` can be used on
under Linux by setting ``MAGICC_EXECUTABLE_7`` to ``/tmp/magicc/run/magicc``.

Example usage in Bash:

.. code:: bash

    MAGICC_EXECUTABLE_7=/tmp/magicc/run/magicc.exe make test

Or in a script:

.. code:: bash

    #!/bin/bash
    export MAGICC_EXECUTABLE_7=tmp/magicc/run/magicc.exe
    make test
