Climate consequences of increasing ozone in the troposphere, studied with a coupled chemistry-general circulation model
Anthropogenic activities have dramatically altered the chemical composition of the atmosphere. The focus of this study is on the composition of the troposphere, mainly associated with ozone which acts…
European Environmental Priorities: an Integrated Economic and Environmental Assessment
The economic assessment of priorities for a European environmental policy plan focuses on twelve identified Prominent European Environmental Problems such as climate change, chemical risks and…
FAIR 1.0 (Framework to Assess International Regimes for differentiation of commitments): An interactive model to explore options for differentiation of future commitments in international climate policy making. User documentation
This report contains the model documentation and user instructions of the FAIR model (Framework to Assess International Regimes for differentiation of commitments). FAIR is an interactive - scanner…
Model for Effectiveness of Policy Instruments for the Energy-Saving in Industry (MEI-Energy)
Within the context of the Kyoto Protocol insight into industrial energy savings and the influence of policy instruments is desirable, both for the past and the future. By virtue of its legal central…
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…
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…
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…
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.
