MAGICC/SCENGEN: User Support

Installation instructions for v5.3 previously downloaded from this site.

MAGICC/SCENGEN comes complete as a zipped set of directories (folders), SG53.zip, that should be unzipped into the root directory on C drive. In unzipping, when asked where the folders and files should be extracted to, select C:\. Unzipping will create a new top level folder, C:\SG53, and all folders and files will automatically go into this folder. It is important that the new SG53 folder should be created directly under C: -- i.e., as C:\SG53. The full directory structure is shown in the flowchart at the end of the user manual.

MAGICC/SCENGEN

MAGICC consists of a suite of coupled gas-cycle, climate and ice-melt models integrated into a single software package. The software allows the user to determine changes in greenhouse-gas concentrations, global-mean surface air temperature, and sea level resulting from anthropogenic emissions

SCENGEN constructs a range of geographically explicit climate change projections for the globe using the results from MAGICC together with AOGCM climate change information from the CMIP3/AR4 archive.
