impact-calculations

impacts-calculations contains the code necessary to generate, aggregate, and analyze physical impacts from econometric response functions.

The package can be installed locally as a python package but it also includes several additional scripts.

Contents:

• adaptation: Interpolation and adaptation logic
• analysis: Post-processing analysis (mostly R)
• climate: Interface to the climate data
• computer: Tools that use computer to run, monitor, and collect results
• datastore: Interfaces to the input datasets
• docs: Various documentation-- should probably be moved!
• generate: Top-level functions for climate result-making
• helpers: Helper code
• impacts: Definitions of calculation
• interpolate: Used by Chicago to make .csvv file
• shortterm: Top-level functions for forecast result-making
• tests: Unit tests

Installation

Clone the repository to a local directory and install the python package components with

pip install -e .

Although the code in the repo can be installed as a Python package, there are additional bits of supplimental code and scripts that are hard-coded to the local directory and so will only function from the root directory of this repository.

Generating projections, diagnostics, and projection aggregations depends on additional input files in a particular directory structure. Users can point to the root of this directory with the IMPERICS_SHAREDDIR environment variable. For example, if the root of the directory is /sharedir we can append

# Configs for impact projection runs
export IMPERICS_SHAREDDIR=/shareddir

to ~/.bashrc.

For more details on installation, or to install the repository in a way more conducive to doing development work on the projection system, see docs/install.md.

Projections with the imperics CLI

The installed python package includes a command-line interface (CLI) to handle projection generation, diagnostics, and aggregation. This is done with imperics generate, imperics diagnostic and imperics aggregate. All commands accept a YAML run configuration file as the first argument. For basic options, see imperics --help, or use --help with any imperics subcommand.
