1 IPCC SRES future land cover change experiments The future SRES scenarios are all based on the IMAGE 2.2 land cover change simulations for different scenarios. Two sets of transient simulation experiments will be performed. One for the A2 SRES scenario and another for the B1 SRES scenario. Experiments are as follows Historical control using the hybrid land cover scheme to 2000 using the LSM/IMAGE2.2 present day hybrid land surface dataset (figure 1). Atmospheric forcings are based on 20 th century transient settings. Completed -- B07.47 A2 Experiments and simulations 2. A using LSM LSM/IMAGE2.2 present day hybrid land surface dataset (figure 1). Atmospheric forcings are based on SRES A2 transient settings. Completed -- B A branch from 2 (B07.48) using LSM LSM/IMAGE hybrid land surface dataset (figure 2). Atmospheric forcings are based on SRES A2 transient settings. Completed -- B A continuation from 3 (B07.67) using LSM LSM/IMAGE hybrid land surface dataset (figure 3). Atmospheric forcings are based on SRES A2 transient settings. Completed -- B A branch from 2 (B07.48) using LSM LSM/IMAGE hybrid land surface dataset (figure 3). Atmospheric forcings are based on SRES A2 transient settings. Completed -- B07.66 B1 Experiments and simulations 6. B continuation from 1 (B07.47) using LSM LSM/IMAGE2.2 present day hybrid land surface dataset (figure 1). Atmospheric forcings are based on SRES B1 transient settings. Surface data file BS1970hybrid.T42.tc. To be performed 7. B branch from 6 using LSM LSM/IMAGE hybrid land surface dataset (figure 4). Atmospheric forcings are based on SRES B1 transient settings. Surface data file B12050hybrid T42.tc. To be performed 8. B continuation from 7 using LSM LSM/IMAGE hybrid land surface dataset (figure 5). Atmospheric forcings are based on SRES B1 transient settings. Surface data file B12100hybrid T42.tc. To be performed
