A Hundred Year (1890 - 1990) Database for Integrated Environmental Assessments (HYDE, version 1.1)
Testing against historical data is an important step in the validation of simulation models. Because of their wide scope and coverage, global change models require a large amount of data for testing…
Effect of greenhouse gas emissions on stratospheric ozone depletion
The depletion of the ozone layer is caused mainly by the increase in emissions of chlorine- and bromine-containing compounds like CFCs, halons, carbon tetrachloride, methyl chloroform and methyl…
The Future of the Global Environment: A Model-based Analysis Supporting UNEP's First Global Environment Outlook
This report documents the scenario analysis in UNEP's first Global Environment Outlook, published at the same time as the scenario analysis. This Outlook provides a pilot assessment of developments in…
Transport scenarios for the Netherlands for 2030. A description of the scenarios for the OECD project 'Environmental Sustainable Transport'
The Environmental Sustainable Transport (EST) project contains a business-as-usual scenario and three EST scenarios: one 'high-technology' scenario containing only technological changes, one 'capacity…
Description of EDGAR Version 2.0: A set of global emission inventories of greenhouse gases and ozone-depleting substances for all anthropogenic and most natural sources on a per country basis and on 1 degree x 1 degree grid
A global emission source database called EDGAR (Emission Database for Global Atmospheric Research) has been developed jointly by TNO and RIVM to meet the needs of policy-makers and of atmospheric…
Land use and cover change as an overarching topic in the Dutch national research programme on global air pollution and climate change. Issues for implementation
The integration study 'Land Use and Cover Change as an overarching topic in the Dutch National Research Programme on Global Air Pollution and Climate Change (NRP)' aims at identifying research fields…
Vulnerability of Human Population Health to Climate Change: state-of-knowledge and future research directions
Health effects of global climate change may include an increase in: heat-related mortality and morbidity, infectious diseases, particularly those that are vector-borne, and malnutrition and…
RS-Land cover based environmental monitoring in Europe. Progress report on the applicability of NOAA-AVHRR 1-km data for small scale land cover mapping. Final report part 1
The main objective of the study was to find out whether the multi-spectral and multi-temporal classification of AVHRR satelite data could lead to an operational method to establish a 1-km pan-European…
Modelling gas-phase and heterogeneous conversions of nitrogen oxides in the exhaust plume of an aircraft ; A parameterization for global models
The gas-phase and heterogeneous chemical conversion of nitrogen compounds occurring in the plume of an aircraft in the first two days after emission were investigated with a newly developed aircraft…
Global energy futures: An integrated perspective with the TIME-model
In a previous report the five submodels of the energy model were described in detail. Here, a number of applications with the (stand-alone) TIME model are presented. In this report the calibration of…
