Checks and verification at national and international levels
National inventories submitted under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change are updated annually, i.e. the inventory for a new year is compiled and added and the emissions of the other…
The integrated modeling system STONE for calculating nutrient emissions from agriculture in the Netherlands
For the Netherlands, a nutrient emission modeling system, called STONE, has been developed. It was designed for evaluation at the national and regional scale of the effects of changes in the…
Global emission sources of greenhouse gas emissions from industrial processes: SF6
This Supporting Information Paper provides a more comprehensive picture of global SF 6 emissions, by putting them in the broader perspective of total global emissions from industrial non-combustion…
Documentation of the activities within the framework of the completion of the CRF for the 2003 submission to the UNFCCC

Radiative forcing by anthropogenic surface albedo change from 1750 to 1990
A radiative transfer model was used within a GCM to simulate the global shortwave radiation budget with natural vegetation cover and with the vegetation estimated for 1750, 1850, 1900, 1950 and 1990
