C-LEARN is a Web-based version of C-ROADS, a simulation of Sustainability Institute and Ventana Systems that is part of the Climate Interactive effort. In the Collaboratorium, C-LEARN is the primary climate model. Greenhouse gas emission and deforestation/aforestation targets are its primary inputs. Its primary outputs are atmospheric concentrations
The model's inputs are:
- Targets for greenhouse gas emission reduction
- Targets for reductions in deforestation and increases in aforestation
Its outputs are:
- Atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2)
...
- Increase in global mean temperature (GMT)
...
- above baseline year
This writeup about C-LEARN contains three primary sections
- C-LEARN overview
High level description of the model, ; information about its creators developers and their institutional affiliation, ; the model's history and how it can be accessed, ; documentation and key publications.
- C-LEARN attributes
The model's geographic scope and resolution; its start date, end date, and time step; its data sources; its approach for dealing with uncertainty; and its overall structure.
