1 Global Atmospheric Effects of Aviation and Surface Transport (TRADEOFF, METRIC, QUANTIFY) Robert Sausen DLR- Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany Third Japan-EU Workshop on Climate Change Research January 2005 Yokohama Institute for Earth Sciences Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology Yokohama, Japan

2 Transport and climate change Transport contributes about 20 to 30% to anthropogenic climate change in terms of radiative forcing (RF). The transport sector, in particular aviation, is one of the fastest growing industrial sectors. International aviation and shipping are not included in the Kyoto Protocol.

3 Global emission by aviation, shipping and road transport CO 2 in Tg(C)/a NO x in Tg(N)/a SO x in Tg(S)/a PM in Tg(PM10)/a total fuel burn in Mio t yr -1 shipping road transport aviation

4 How does transport impact on climate? Transport emissions can impact on climate in several ways: (1) by direct emissions of greenhouse gases, mainly CO 2, but also N 2 O and others; (2) by emissions of indirect greenhouse gases, i.e., precursors of ozone, such as NOx, CO or volatile organic compounds (VOCs); (3) by emissions of aerosols or their precursors, in particular black carbon and SO 2, which are directly and indirectly (via cloud formation and cloud modification) radiatively and chemically active; (4) by directly triggering additional clouds due to water vapour emissions (e.g., contrails, contrail cirrus).

5 Impact of Aviation

12 Radiative Forcing RF and Surface Temperature Change T s IPCC: T s = λ RF climate sensitivity parameter: constant, i.e., independent of forcing, but model dependent IPCC 1999

16 Limits of the RF concept Hansen et al., 1997: O3 = 100 DU, each layer individually λ const. Response depends on pattern of forcing T s = λ RF IPCC, 1999

17 Climate sensitivity parameter λ [K / (Wm -2 )] Joshi et al., 2003; Sausen et al., 2003

18 Normalised climate sensitivity parameter r = λ / λ CO2-global Joshi et al., 2003; Sausen et al., 2003

19 Aviation related climate sensitiy parameters Aircraft induced ozone: Contrails: up to a factor 2 larger. up to a factor 2 smaller.
