Best available practice in life cycle assessment of climate change, stratospheric ozone depletion, photo-oxidant formation, acidification, and eutrophication-Backgrounds on general issues
This report has been prepared by the SETAC Europe Scientific Task Group on Global And RegionaL Impact Categories (SETAC-Europe/STG-GARLIC) that is installed by the 2nd SETAC Europe working group on…
Patterns of low-frequency climate variability: a model-paleodata comparison
Patterns of temperature variability on interdecadal and longer timescales are derived from empirical and simulated data for the region centered around the North Atlantic ocean. The empirical dataset…
A coupled atmosphere/ocean/sea-ice Model of Intermediate Complexity (ECBilt) was developed. With ECBilt we aim at deriving qualitative information on physical processes and feedbacks that may be…
The impact of climate change on the river Rhine and the implications for water management in the Netherlands
This report gives the extended summary of the project 'The impact of climate change on the river Rhine and the implications for water management in the Netherlands', carried out within the framework…
Rapid Climatic Warming in the past: reconstruction and modelling
The last two important periods of climate warming (at c. 14.7 and 11.5 kyr BP) in NW and Central Europe are characterized quantitatively by their shifts especially in winter and summer temperature…
A 1°×1° resolution data set of historical anthropogenic trace gas emissions for the period 1890–1990
An anthropogenic emissions data set has been constructed for CO 2 , CO, CH 4 , nonmethane volatile organic compounds, SO 2 , NOx, N 2 O, and NH 3 spanning the period 1890–1990.
Uncertainty assessment of the IMAGE/TIMER B1 CO2 emissions scenario, using the NUSAP method
This project implemented a novel approach to uncertainty assessment, known as the NUSAP method (Numeral Unit Spread Assessment Pedigree) to assess qualitative and quantitative uncertainties in the…
Applications of EDGAR. Including a description of EDGAR 3.0: reference database with trend data for 1970-1995
EDGAR 2.0 (Emission Database for Global Atmospheric Research) provided global annual emissions for 1990 of greenhouse gases CO 2 , CH 4 and N 2 O and precursor gases CO, NO x , NMVOC and SO 2 both per…
