CLASSIC is formed by the coupling of the Canadian Land Surface Scheme (CLASS) and the Canadian Terrestrial Ecosystem Model (CTEM), which handle the physics and biogeochemistry, respectively.

Obtaining the CLASSIC code

• Getting started tutorial
• CLASSIC code repository
• CLASSIC Singularity Container (archived on Zenodo)
  • The container contains all model software dependencies as well as the Automated Model Benchmarking (AMBER) framework

Documentation

• Documentation corresponding to the latest release.
• CLASSIC is self-documenting using doxygen. The documentation in html form can also be generated by running doxygen Doxyfile in the code root directory. Doxygen is provided in the CLASSIC Singularity container.
