Description

MAGICC_CN.py is the model source code (Python) for the coupled carbon-nitrogen cycle in MAGICC. 

para_dict_A is a dict of parameters and their values for the calibration.

Update 1 Jan 2026:

  1. New model version (CNit v2.1) and calibration released:

       2. This page may no longer be maintained, as the source code has been moved to the public GitHub repository and the documentation is now hosted on Read the Docs. Going forward, we will continue to maintain the model source code on GitLab and archive calibration and related results at Zenedo. 

 

Update 18 Jun 2025:

      1. New model version (CNit v2.0) and calibration released:
