The SCCM GIAM control data format is used by the Simple Carbon-Climate Model to represent the long-term dynamics of the coupled carbon cycle and climate system.
A .gctl file contains control data for the model's globally integrated, simplified representation of that system. It is intended to be used as part of the SCCM model data rather than as a general-purpose document.
Open a .gctl file with the SCCM GIAM software that created or uses it. The file is a model control data file and may not have meaningful content when opened independently.
A .gctl file is not normally converted to another format because it supplies control data for SCCM GIAM. Use the model's own functions, if available, when transferring or reusing its data.
