Objective:
The project objective was to account for the radiative forcing impacts of aerosols and tropospheric ozone (O3) from changes to their precursor emissions owing to air quality and greenhouse gas policies. This was accomplished through the following research tasks:
1. Quantify the impacts of emissions from each sector, in each model grid cell, on the global and regional radiative forcing of tropospheric O3 and aerosols.
2. Assess the radiative forcing consequences of emissions scenarios designed to target combinations of aerosol and greenhouse gas reductions.
