Installation

To install the latest release:

$ pip install malta

Usage

malta is a two-dimensional (longitudinally-averaged) model of atmospheric transport. A simple run of constant emissons of 10 Gg of CFC-11 with zero initial conditions from 2010-2020 inclusive could be:

import numpy as np
from malta import model

start_year = 2010
end_year = 2021
species = "CFC11"

# Set up and run model
years = np.array([str(yr) for yr in range(start_year,end_year)])
emistot = np.repeat(10, len(years))
emissions = model.create_emissions(species, emistot)
sink = model.create_sink(species)
ds_out = model.run_model(years, emissions, sink) 

The returned ds_out is an xarray dataset containing monthly mean output variables from the 2D model run. See docs/example.ipynb or the readthedocs page for more information on running the model.
