Development of a Future Representative Concentration Pathway for Use in the IPCC 5th Assessment Earth System Model Simulations (open access)

Development of a Future Representative Concentration Pathway for Use in the IPCC 5th Assessment Earth System Model Simulations

The representative concentration pathway to be delivered is a scenario of atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases and other radiatively important atmospheric species, along with land-use changes, derived from the Global Change Assessment Model (GCAM). The particular representative concentration pathway (RCP) that the Joint Global Change Research Institute (JGCRI) has been responsible for is a not-to-exceed pathway that stabilizes at a radiative forcing of 4.5Wm-2 in the year 2100.
