From page 44...
... CCSP's draft Synthesis and Assessment Product 3.2 entitled "Climate Projections Based on Emissions Scenarios for long-lived radiatively active trace gases and future climate impacts of short-lived radiatively active gases and aerosols". The purpose of the CCSP SAP 3.2 is to provide information to those who use climate model outputs to assess the potential effects of human activities on climate, air quality and ecosystem behavior.
