6 # Sensitivity Run Past Emissions : EDGAR Future Emissions : IPCC SRES A2 Marker StartEnd Case default Case Case
7 # Regional Contibution Assessment Example : Region A Contribution >>> Nature + Region A Emission Start End Definition of Contribution = (change of param. in regional calculation) / (change of param. in global calculation)

10 # Radiative Forcing
11 # Temperature Change

14 [3] SUMMARY # Strong non-linearity is observed. # Treatment of natural emission? # Historical evaluation start date should be 1760 as default value since this period is considered as the beginning of human interventions.
