The Atmosphere-Ocean System of IMAGE 2.2. A global model approach for atmospheric concentrations, and climate and sea level projections
In this report we describe the technical background of the Atmosphere Ocean System (AOS) of the Integrated Model to Assess the Global Environment (IMAGE, version 2.2).
No real alternatives for implementing Kyoto Protocol without Russia. The Russian ratification of the Kyoto Protocol (KP) was vital for the KP to enter into force. According to a recent MNP-RIVM report…
Ratificatie van het Kyoto Protocol door Rusland, noodzakelijk voor de inwerkingtreding van het Kyoto Protocol, is nog steeds onzeker. Dit rapport evalueert een aantal opties voor behoud van het Kyoto…
De ruimtelijke ontwikkeling wordt niet alleen bepaald door het ruimtelijk beleid, hoezeer zij daarmee in de Nederlandse samenleving ook is verweven. In belangrijker mate wordt de ruimte bepaald door…
Simplified Multi-Stage and Per Capita Convergence: an analysis of two climate regimes for differentiation of commitments
In this report two post-Kyoto climate regimes for differentiation of future commitments, the simplified Multi-Stage approach and the Per Capita Convergence approach, are described and analysed in…
Constructing land-use maps of the Netherlands in 2030
The National Environmental Assessment Agency in the Netherlands is obliged to report on future trends in the environment and nature every 4 years. The last report, Nature Outlook 2, evaluated the…
Integrated modelling for nutrient loading and ecology of lakes in the Netherland
Many shallow lakes in the lower parts of The Netherlands are hypertrophic and dominated by algae blooms. The present ecological situation reflects the result of past and present nutrient loading—a…
Data assimilation of ground-level ozone in Europe with a Kalman filter and chemistry transport model
A Kalman filter coupled to the atmospheric chemistry transport model EUROS has been used to estimate the ozone concentrations in the boundary layer above Europe.
