Project Title:

Review of CCSP Draft Synthesis and Assessment Products: 3.2 Climate projections based on emissions scenarios for long-lived radiatively active trace gases
PIN: BASC-U-06-06-A        

Major Unit:

Division on Earth and Life Studies

Sub Unit: Board on Atmospheric Sciences & Climate

RSO: Elfring, Chris

Subject/Focus Area:


Project Scope
The NRC is appointing four separate committee to review four CCSP Synthesis and Assessment Products in the spring of 2007. An ad hoc committee will review CCSP Draft SAP 3.2 Climate Projects Based on Emissions Scenarios for Long-lived Radiatively Active Trace Gases. The committee will address the following review criteria (which are based on the NRC's own review criteria):
1. Are the goals, objectives and intended audience of the product clearly described in the document? Does the product address all questions outlined in the prospectus?
2. Are any findings and/or recommendations adequately supported by evidence and analysis? In cases where recommendations might be based on expert value judgments or the collective opinions of the authors, is this acknowledged and supported by sound reasoning?
3. Are the data and analyses handled in a competent manner? Are statistical methods applied appropriately?
4. Are the document's presentation, level of technicality, and organization effective? Are the questions outlined in the prospectus addressed and communicated in a manner that is appropriate and accessible for the intended audience?
5. Is the document scientifically objective and policy neutral? Is it consistent with the scientific literature?
6. Is there a summary that effectively, concisely and accurately describes the key findings and recommendations? Is it consistent with other sections of the document?
7. What other significant improvements, if any, might be made in the document?
