Consequently, the most advanced climate
models now require, in addition to concentrations or emissions
of greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4, N2O and halocarbons), emissions
of reactive gases and aerosol precursor compounds (SO2, NOx, VOC, BC, OC and NH3), to
model atmospheric chemistry and interactions with the climate
system.6 For most variables, a sectoral differentiation would improve the quality
of the calculations (e.g. from power plants and
agricultural burning).
