Nonlinear Dynamics of the Equatorial Ocean-Atmosphere System
A fundamental study of the nonlinear dynamics of the Tropical Pacific climate system was performed within this project. Using tools of dynamic systems theory and an intermediate coupled ocean…
MATerial Technologies for greenhouse gas Emission Reduction. Workshop Proceedings
The MATTER project (MATerials Technologies for greenhouse gas Emission Reduction) is a joint project of five Dutch institutes within the framework of the National Research Programme on Global Air…
Scenarios for Western Europe on long term abatement of CO2 emissions
An energy model for Western Europe has been constructed on the basis of the MARKAL model to analyse future development of CO 2 emissions from Western Europe and the possibilities to limit these…
Proceedings of the first NRP-II Symposium on Climate Change Research
On October 29 and 30,1998 some 175 Dutch researchers from different disciplines and research institutions and universities gathered in Garderen, The Netherlands to present their work and hear about…
Greenhouse Gas Emission Accounting 2. Update including Second National Communications
Here, a more detailed analysis is made of differences between national emission estimates, including the second National Communications and global inventories such as EDGAR 2.0 and atmospheric…
IMAGE 2 is an integrated assessment model for global and regional climate change. The aim of the model is to simulate scientifically and thoroughly the policy-relevant issues in climate change. The…
History, current activities and future direction of the IMAGE project the briefing book for the 3rd meeting of the Ad-hoc IMAGE Advisory Board
This report presents background material for the third meeting of the Ad-hoc IMAGE-2 Advisory Board. This Board reviews recent developments and applications and give advice on potential future…
Geostatistical interpolation of abiotic site conditions in the Netherlands: A method for reference mapping
A geostatistical method for the production of abiotic maps on a national scale has been proposed and successfully applied. Reference maps for moisture, acidity/alkalinity, nitrogen and salinity…
Aerosol; Cycle and Influence on the Radiation Balance MEasurement and MOdelling of the reduction of Radiation by Aerosol (MEMORA)
Anthropogenic aerosols reflect solar radiation and therefore act as cooling agents. The perturbation ('forcing') of the radiation balance is so large that, according to estimates by IPCC, it could off…
Assessing Ecosystem Vulnerability and Identifying Climate Protection Indicators
In this report on possible impacts, scenarios of the IMAGE 2 model and Safe Landing Analyses we have shown that selecting an appropriate ecological target can assist in defining 'adaptable' levels of…
