LILICOP_1.0: model of LIpids in the LIfe cycle of a high latitude COPepod, version 1.0

LILICOP_1.0 is version 1.0 of a stoichiometric model of the life-cycle of high latitude copepods (marine zooplankton), used to study the role of lipids in the life history of these animals, and associated carbon sequestration in the ocean. The associated published journal article is: Anderson, T.R., Hessen, D.O., Gentleman, W.C., Yool, A. and Mayor, D.J. (2022). Quantifying the roles of food intake and stored lipid for growth and development throughout the life cycle of a high-latitude copepod, and consequences for carbon sequestration. Frontiers in Marine Science, doi: 10.3389/fmars.2022.928209.

The model is coded stand-alone in R (no libraries required). The main executable is LILICOP_1.0.R, with input files LILICOP_1.0parms.txt (model parameters), LILICOP_1.0extra.txt (model settings), mike_forcing.txt (forcing for Station Mike), India_forcing.txt (forcing for Station India).
