(MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, 2018-02)The MIT Integrated Global System Model (IGSM) is designed for analyzing the global environmental changes that may result from anthropogenic causes, quantifying the uncertainties associated with the projected changes, and ... -
Meeting the Goals of the Paris Agreement: Temperature Implications of the Shell Sky Scenario
Paltsev, Sergey; Sokolov, Andrei P; Gao, Xiang; Haigh, Martin (MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, 2018-04)The Paris Agreement makes long-term energy and climate projections particularly important because it calls for a goal that likely requires an energy system that is based on a radically different fuel mix than currently in ... -
Mid-Western U.S. Heavy Summer-Precipitation in Regional and Global Climate Models: The Impact on Model Skill and Consensus Through an Analogue Lens
Gao, Xiang; Schlosser, C. Adam (MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, 2017-10)Regional climate models (RCMs) in general can simulate the characteristics of heavy/extreme precipitation more accurately than general circulation models (GCMs) as a result of more realistic representation of topography ...
