商品簡介
The first volume in a new series, the aims and scope of which are not stated. Rotmans explains how the computer simulation model IMAGE (Integrated Model to Assess the Greenhouse Effect) is constructed, the fundamental assumptions on which it is based, the ways in which it has been verified, and how to use it. Since IMAGE can be used on a relatively modest computer and can be used by those who are not familiar with the often extremely complex models that run on mainframes, it is useful to policy makers and their advisory agencies who need a concise overview of the quantitative aspects of the greenhouse problem.
