RAINS Web Edition

On-line Model

A version of RAINS Web Edition providing some Scenario Analysis functions is available.

You can examine the environmental consequences of several IIASA optimised scenarios or construct and analyse your own emissions scenario (a number of initial scenarios are provided). You may save your own emissions scenarios - by choosing a new name for each one you create - but they may not be stored indefinitely. Such scenarios will be available for further use for 7 days - and possibly longer - but may be removed from the scenario database after that time.

The following types of output are available:

Tables of Exposure Indices

• Population Ozone Exposure Indices
• Vegetation Ozone Exposure Indices
• Ecosystems with acid deposition above acidification critical loads
• Ecosystems with nitrogen deposition above eutrophication critical loads

Maps

• AOT40    5-year mean
• AOT60    Individual years, 5-year mean or second highest of series
• Ecosystems with acid deposition above acidification critical loads
• Ecosystems with nitrogen deposition above eutrophication critical loads

Differences between Scenarios

The differences between your "current" scenario and a second scenario of your choice can also be shown. Difference tables and maps are available for the types of output data listed above.

N.B. Please report any problems encountered.
