AR6 climate assessment on postprocessing

[gabriel-abrahao]

Purpose of this PR

This is meant only as an emergency draft, since some people seem to be needing this quite urgently. Probably none of this will be done this way when we merge.

This is the bare minimum needed to run the AR6 climate assessment, with the updated MAGICC version and probabilistic ensemble, in the postprocessing of a set of REMIND scenarios. We will progressively move towards having this inside GAMS and run every iteration, but right now it only works at postprocessing.

It works on the output xlsx of output.R -> export -> xlsx_IIASA -> AR6. To use, run that first, then cd to scripts/utils/climate_assessment. There, replace filename in submit_climate_assessment.sh with the output of the above (should be in output/export/REMIND_xxxx_.xlsx). Then submit it to slurm using:

sbatch submit_climate_assessment.sh

The output will be in a subfolder called output_climate. All variables plus some metadata, including the AR6 classification of each scenario, will be in a file with the alloutput.xlsx prefix, but there are others with just more specific data.

Thanks a lot, Gabriel!
I will check it out.

@LaviniaBaumstark would you mind taking a look at this? It's definitely a work in progress, but it would be nice to have your input on whether this should be done in scripts or should be incorporated into a reporting library or something. The latter would mean having some Python mixed in the libraries, which might not be desirable. I can also think of an approach using bash scripts.

Thanks Gabriel. I thing, for now it is o.k. having it as scripts as part of the output.R world, no need to transfer this to our reporting packages. The climate assessment will anyway we a separate calculation and I thing you describe a comfortable way for REMIND users interested in this specific analysis.

Thanks! I marked it as ready for review then

I took Gabriel's branch, installed it and we fixed all (permission) errors that showed up. The result looks promising. You just have to make sure to add the location python is installed to your PATH in order for it to work.
