Active Dev Branch

[kdorheim]

This is a placeholder PR for post V3.5.0 development. Eventually, this branch will be merged into main and associated with the next Hector release.

This PR documentation will need to be updated to reflect the merged PRs.

PRs	Dev Type	Old-New Test Update?	Description
---	minor	no	documentation changes only
#798	patch	no	bug fix in the csv output stream visitor to close #795 related to rh_ch4
#799	patch	no	bug fix in csv output stream, use consistent precision level
#800	patch	no	use a more robust parser when reading the input csv table

Leeyabot report!

2026-02-03

Hello, this is Leeyabot! I look for differences between the this “dev”
version of Hector and make some standard diagnostic plots. I
specifically compare this version of Hector with

• old-new test data - 3.5.0 (commit e98dc2d)
• previous release data - 3.5.0 (commit )

Previous Dev Version Comparison

The old-new test data is used in the R testthat unit tests to verify
that recent model development has not introduced changes to Hector’s
output. Here, we generate standard diagnostic plots to identify any
changes in model behavior.

This summary table indicates the $R^2$, root mean squared error (RMSE),
and normalized RMSE (NRMSE) for each variable and scenario. An $R^2$ of
1 and NRMSE of 0 indicate that the Hector results are identical to the
previous developmental version of Hector.

scenario	variable	R.squared	RMSE	NRMSE
ssp245	CO2_concentration (ppmv CO2)	1e+00	0e+00	0e+00
ssp245	global_tas (degC)	1e+00	0e+00	0e+00
ssp245	RF_CO2 (W/m2)	1e+00	0e+00	0e+00
ssp245	RF_tot (W/m2)	1e+00	0e+00	0e+00

## The current pull request's outputs do not differ from the old-new data of Hector 3.5.0, e98dc2d

Release Version Comparison

In the remainder of the document we compare this version of Hector, the
dev version with the minted results from Hector 3.5.0 the most
recent major release. There are two different sets of experiments to be
considered here - idealized and multiforcing scenarios. Each summary
table will contain results from both types of experiments while the
diagnostic plots will consider them separately.

Idealized Experiments

scenario	variable	R.squared	RMSE	NRMSE
1pctCO2	CO2_concentration (ppmv CO2)	1e+00	0e+00	0e+00
abruptx4CO2	CO2_concentration (ppmv CO2)	1e+00	0e+00	0e+00

abruptx4CO2	RF_tot (W/m2)	1e+00	0e+00	0e+00

## The current pull request's idealized outputs do not differ from the Hector release 3.5.0,
