Climate Change Scenarios
Abstract
Handout: Regional differences in warming Besides analysing the climate system, it is also possible to study climate change scenarios with the simple climate model MSCM. Therefore, different CO2-concentration pathways (Representative Concentration Pathways) for possible greenhouse gas emissions in the future are provided. With these CO2-concentration pathways, the MSCM calculates the temperature and other physical variables. In addition, it is also possible to investigate the impact of theoretical drivers (such as 2xCO2, 4xCO2) as well as varying solar irradiation (for example for glacial and interglacial periods).
