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)

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
