Evaluation of integrated assessment model hindcast experiments: a case study of the GCAM 3.0 land use module

Journal Article Snyder, Abigail C. ; Link, Robert P. ; Calvin, Katherine V. - Geoscientific Model Development (Online)

Abstract. Hindcasting experiments (conducting a model forecast for a time period in which observational data are available) are being undertaken increasingly often by the integrated assessment model (IAM) community, across many scales of models. When they are undertaken, the results are often evaluated using global aggregates or otherwise highly aggregated skill scores that mask deficiencies. We select a set of deviation-based measures that can be applied on different spatial scales (regional versus global) to make evaluating the large number of variable–region combinations in IAMs more tractable. We also identify performance benchmarks for these measures, based on the statistics of themore »« less

Assessment of the potential for photochemical air pollution in Athens - A comparison of emissions and air-pollutant levels in Athens with those in Los Angeles

Journal Article Mantis, H T ; Repapis, C C ; Zerefos, C S ; ... - Journal of Applied Meteorology; (United States)

The objective of the paper is to assess the air-pollution potential in Athens through a comparison of emission rates and pollution levels with those in Los Angeles, where emission rates have stabilized. The average pollutant-emission density in Athens is estimated to be 2-6 times greater than in Los Angeles. Primary pollutant concentrations are also greater in Athens by a factor of 3-5. Photochemical pollutant concentrations, however, are of the same order or lower in Athens as compared with Los Angeles. The lower concentration of ozone in Athens is partially explained by contrasting summer meteorological conditions in the Athens and Losmore » Angeles basins. 14 refs.« less

Use of a State-Level Integrated Assessment Model for Policy Analysis: An Uncertainty Analysis of Energy and Water

Conference Scott, Michael J. ; Daly, Don S. ; Hejazi, Mohamad I. ; ...

This presentation discusses some recent uncertainty assessment work being done on climate policy issues at the state level. The work is being done with the Platform for Regional Integrated Modeling and Analysis (PRIMA), a new climate change policy assessment framework developed at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland and Seattle, Washington and College Park, Maryland. The central computaional engine of PRIMA is the Global Change Assessment Model (GCAM), a dynamic-recursive integrated assessment model of the world economy, climate policy, and climate change that that has been regionalized to provide policy analysis down to the level of U.S. states.

Estimating environmental co-benefits of U.S. low-carbon pathways using an integrated assessment model with state-level resolution

Journal Article Ou, Yang ; Shi, Wenjing ; Smith, Steven J. ; ... - Applied Energy

There are many technological pathways that can lead to reduced carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions. However, these pathways can have substantially different impacts on other environmental endpoints, such as air quality and energy-related water demand. This study uses an integrated assessment model with state-level resolution of the U.S. energy system to compare environmental impacts of alternative low-carbon pathways. One set of pathways emphasizes nuclear energy and carbon capture and storage (NUC/CCS), while another set emphasizes renewable energy (RE). These are compared with pathways in which all technologies are available. Air pollutant emissions, mortality costs attributable to particulate matter less than 2.5more »« less
