This update provides new emissions scenarios, projections, and simulations for NOx, CO, and VOC emissions globally. It includes the effects on ozone levels and potential impacts on climate change. Participating groups include renowned universities and meteorological institutes.
E N D
New emissions scenario • New emissions (NOx & CO) totals and 2050 projections for 11 world regions from IIASA (Rafaj & Amann) • New ship emissions (Corbett & Eyring) • Use ACCENT 2000 distribution as base • Scale 2000 & 2050 fields; replace ships • Assume VOCs follow CO • Use IPCC SRES CH4 concentrations
NOx emissions 2050-2000 Reduce almost everywhere – global total down ~40%
CO emissions 2050-2000 Also reduce almost everywhere, global total down ~20%
Participating groups • University of Edinburgh • University of Cambridge • Guang Zeng, Oliver Wild (only emissions) • Met. Office • Mike Sanderson • KNMI (Dutch Met Office) • Twan van Noije (TM4 – only emissions) • Lawrence Livermore National Lab (US) • Dan Bergmann (IMPACT – only emissions?) • University L’Aquila • Veronica Montenaro (ULAQ – low resolution model?)
Further analysis of ACCENT results • Derive relationship between O3 and NOx, CO, NMVOC emissions, and possibly climate change Previously found global O3 responds ~linearly With NOx emissions
