regional level. The global-mean component uses the MAGICC coupled gas-cycle/climate model, which is
the model that was used to make the projections of global-mean temperature given in the IPCC Third
Assessment Report (TAR, Ch. 9). Users can emulate TAR results or expand these to other emissions
scenarios. The SCENGEN components translates the global-mean projections to regional scale
(gridpoint) results using results from 17 different coupled Atmosphere/Ocean General Circulation
Models. The uncertainty analysis allows results to be given in probabilistic terms.
