Zusammenfassung |
We present a computationally efficient modelling system, IMOGEN, designed to
undertake global and regional assessment of climate change impacts on the
physical and biogeochemical behaviour of the land surface. A pattern-scaling
approach to climate change drives a gridded land surface and vegetation
model MOSES/TRIFFID. The structure allows extrapolation of General
Circulation Model (GCM) simulations to different future pathways of
greenhouse gases, including rapid first-order assessments of how the land
surface and associated biogeochemical cycles might change. Evaluation of how
new terrestrial process understanding influences such predictions can also
be made with relative ease. |
