Note that names of variables (columns) correspond to a subset of init_txt (to initialize txt) and init_num (to initialize num).

The variables scen_src and scen_apa provide a scenario's source information.

The information of scenarios is also contained in an R data frame df_scenarios (and generated from the corresponding .rda file in /data/).
