In StatisticalServicesCentre/ClimateObject: What the package does (short line)

# Defining the reference class "model"
# This reference class is a wrapper to save models created through instat or climatic object methods.
# The fields are the properties every climate_data object will have.

# method_name       : The name of the instat or climate object method this model came from 
# method_parameters : The list parameters used in the method call
# function_name     : The name of the R function used, i.e. the type of model outputs 
# output_list       : A list containing the outputs to all the models created by the method
