1 Assessment of contributions to climate change: Results from CICERO UNFCCC Expert meeting, Bracknell, 25-27 September 2002 Bård Romstad, Jan Fuglestvedt and Terje Berntsen CICERO, Norway

2 Model description Simple Climate Model (SCM) (Fuglestvedt and Berntsen, 1999) Incorporates an energy-balance climate/up-welling diffusion ocean model developed by Schlesinger et al. (1992) A CO 2 scheme from Joos et al. (1996) Lifetimes and concentration-forcing relations from IPCC TAR Includes 32 source gases Global radiative forcing is calculated for 35 components Global-mean ΔT and ΔSL from ocean thermal expansion (and melting of glaciers) (Schlesinger et al., 1992)

3 Model description (cont.) The model source code can be obtained by contacting bard.romstad@cicero.uio.no or j.s.fuglestvedt@cicero.uio.no

4 Model setup for attribution calculation SCM Emission database (CDIAC/EDGAR/ SRES) World OECD REF ASIA ALM World OECD REF ASIA ALM World OECD REF ASIA ALM Results (dT,dSL) Attribution calculation

5 Model input (emission perturbations) Emission database (CDIAC/EDGAR/ SRES) World OECD REF ASIA ALM

6 Model output (dT) Attribution calculation World OECD REF ASIA ALM Results (dT,dSL) World OECD REF ASIA ALM SCM

7 Model output (all regions) Results (dT,dSL)

8 Attribution calculation

9 Attribution calculation (α r ) DEFAULT: CO 2, CH 4 and N 2 O perturbations from 1890-2000

10 Attribution from CO 2, CH 4 and N 2 O, 1890-2000

11 Model setup for sensitivity study Time frame Attribution calculation period 18902100 Emission sources+sinks CO2 All GHGs All forcing agents CO2,CH4 N2O Kyoto basket Historical Emissions 1890 Scenario Emissions 210019502000 Gases

12 Time frame sensitivity Emission attribution periods –1890-2000 (default) –1950-2000 –1890-2100 –1950-2100

13 Time frame sensitivity (em start and end) DEFAULT: CO 2, CH 4 and N 2 O attribution from 1890-2000

14 Time frame sensitivity (cont.) Emission attribution periods –1890-2000 (default) –1950-2000

15 Timeframe sensitivity (em start only) DEFAULT: CO 2, CH 4 and N 2 O attribution from 1890-2000

16 Scope sensitivity Sensitivity due to inclusion/exclusion of gases –CO2 only –CO2, CH4 and N2O (default) –Kyoto basket –(all cases with emission attribution period 1890-2000)

17 Gases included DEFAULT: CO 2, CH 4 and N 2 O attribution from 1890-2000

18 Attribution from CO 2 only, 1890-2000

19 Attribution from CO 2, CH 4 and N 2 O, 1890-2000

20 Attribution from all Kyoto-gases, 1890-2000

21 Source sensitivity Sensitivity due to exclusion of LUCF –Attribution period 1890-2000

22 Sources DEFAULT: CO 2, CH 4 and N 2 O attribution from 1890-2000
