and Shared Socioeconomic Pathway Experiments of the Twenty-First Century

キーワード:Carbon cycle, Earth System Model, CO2 Emissions
This presentation will show the fossil fuel (FF) CO2 emissions diagnosed from the historical and future simulations of nine Earth System Models participating in CMIP6 (Coupled Model Intercomparison Project, Phase 6). The future scenarios represented are the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) of the ScenarioMIP project. The multimodel mean FF emission rate matches the historical record well and cumulative historical emissions are close to the observations-based estimate. Only two models fall inside the observed uncertainty range, however; while two exceed the upper bound, five fall slightly below the lower bound, due primarily to the plateau in CO2 concentration in the 1940s. For the future scenarios, the ESMs’ diagnosed FF emission rates are consistent with those generated by the integrated assessment models (IAMs) from which the SSPs’ CO2 concentration pathways were constructed; the IAMs’ emissions lie within the ESMs’ spread for seven of the eight SSP experiments, the other being only marginally lower, providing confidence in the relationship between the IAMs’ FF emission rates and concentration pathways. The ESMs require fossil fuel emissions to reduce to zero and subsequently become negative in SSP1-1.9, SSP1-2.6, SSP4-3.4, and SSP5-3.4over. We also present the ocean and land carbon cycle responses of the ESMs in the historical and SSP scenarios.
