Objectives:

The programme's two general objectives are:

-to reduce uncertainties about the extent and patterns of global environmental problems through a better understanding of the ecosystem and its interaction with socioeconomic systems to provide a firmer scientific basis for decision-making.

-help strengthen the scientific and technical basis needed to make (federal, European and international) and implement (federal and regional) policy on Global Change and Sustainable Development, with particular reference to climate change.

The scientific objectives are:

-to understand the physical, chemical and biological processes of change in the Earth System and their interactions, particularly those implicated in climate change, stratospheric ozone change in the mid-latitudes, the oxidative capacity of the atmosphere (including tropospheric ozone creation) with particular attention to human-induced changes.

-to develop methods and models to explain the operation and evolution of the climate system, its influences, and to project potential climate changes (nature, magnitude, timing).

-to understand the effects of Global Change and especially the effects of climate change on terrestrial ecosystems, hydrological cycles, essentially in Belgium, including a risk or "vulnerability" assessment; The results must be compiled and globalized in a report relevant to Belgium;

-to develop tools (models, methods,...) with which to evaluate the consequences of policy options.

The strategic objectives are:

-to provide the information necessary to identify and understand the problems;

-to evaluate the policy options (effectiveness, cost, side effects, sustainability,...);

-to provide policy-makers with contextual information and knowledge.

The expertise developed must support Belgian international policy-making, and the national communications which Belgium is required to make under the Climate Convention, the European Council Decision for a monitoring mechanism of CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions, and in the framework of the CSD (Council for Sustainable Development).

Description:

- Sub-programme 1:"reducing uncertainties"
- Sub-programme 2:"scientific support for Belgian policy on climate change"

A. Sub-programme 1: Reducing uncertainties

This sub-programme is to improve understanding the state and the evolution of the environmental system interacting with socioeconomic activities in a context of climate change. Studies are be both descriptive (experimentation) and predictive (modelling).

They focus on the priorities assigned (arbitrary) to 4 sections:

. atmospheric processes
. hydrological cycles
. terrestrial ecosystems
. the climate system


A.1. Atmospheric processes

Objectives

The ultimate goal is to determine atmospheric threshold and the impact of human-induced atmospheric changes as a basis for optimizing national and international short-, medium- and long-term policy-making a.o. in the area of climate change.

That will entail:

- studying the interactions between atmospheric processes and the composition of the atmosphere and the reinforced greenhouse effect;
- understanding the oxidative capacity of the atmosphere;
- studying the fundamental processes of tropospheric ozone creation;
- understanding the dynamic chemical processes which determine the quantity of ozone in the stratosphere, particularly in the mid-latitudes.

Priorities

Atmospheric processes and radiative forcing:

- Study of the chemical, physical and optical properties, chemical budget and the local, regional and global spatial distribution of radiatively-active gases and aerosols (direct and indirect effects, relation to cloud systems) in the atmosphere.

Stratospheric or high-level ozone:

- Quantification of the ozone budget and study of the mechanisms responsible for the observable patterns in lower stratosphere and upper troposphere (more precise observations of the chemical components affecting the ozone budget (laboratory studies and modelling).
- Study of the causes of ozone depletion in the middle latitudes by improved quantification of mass exchanges (polar vortex, subtropical jet, tropopause).
- Impact of sub- and supersonic aircraft emissions on the stratospheric ozone layer.

Tropospheric or low-level ozone:

- Quantification of global and regional hydrocarbon and nitrogen oxide budgets and the role of farming in ozone precursor formation.
- Study of the mechanisms of tropospheric ozone generation, more specifically the photochemical degradation of the hydrocarbons involved at different NO2 concentrations. Development of generic chemical mechanisms for the major hydrocarbon groups in view of consolidating these in models.
- Studies of changes in the oxidative (self-cleaning) capacity of the atmosphere in response to human-induced and natural disturbances/disruptions, especially the free hydroxyl radical (OH) which is of cardinal importance for the strato- and tropospheric ozone problematic.
- Provision of a UV-irradiation climatology and UV-B forecast for Belgium on an operational basis.

EUROTRAC II (European experiment on the transport and transformation of environmentally relevant trace constituents in the troposphere over Europe) under EUREKA
GOME (Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment) under ERS 2


A.2. Terrestrial ecosystems

Objectives

To evaluate and project the effects of climate change, possibly in conjunction with other environmental changes (e.g., changes in land use) on terrestrial ecosystems - with specific reference to Belgium -as a basis for the development of adaptation response and limitation strategies. To evaluate the interactions between changes in terrestrial ecosystems and the climate system.

Priorities

- To study physical, biological and chemical processes connected with natural greenhouse gas emissions (N2O, CH4, O3 precursors, water vapour) depending on climate change and associated environmental factors.
- To develop and improve methods and procedures for establishing an inventory of natural greenhouse gas emissions.
- To evaluate the effects of climate change and associated environmental factors on carbon emissions; carbon storage and dynamics on typically Belgian terrestrial ecosystems (grassland, peatlands, coniferous and deciduous forests) taking into account soil compartments, litter layer, and plant biomass. An overall assessment of carbon exchange on Belgian plant cover as a whole.
- Impact analysis of climate change and possibly other environmental factors (tropospheric ozone, acid rain, nutrient load of water), on the functioning (primary productivity, decomposition, nutrient cycle,...) and complexity (stability, resistance, adaptability, diversity,...) of specifically Belgian terrestrial ecosystems.

A.3. Hydrological cycles

Objectives

To assess the impacts of human-induced climate change on the quantity and quality of water resources to optimize planning, management and use of ground and surface water (including major international rivers). To assess the mutual influence of a change in hydrological cycles and associated biogeochemical exchanges on the climate system.

Priorities

- To develop, compare and validate hydrological models for predicting the effects of climate change on:
- the mean water regime and extreme events (drought, flooding) related to the main Belgian hydrological basins;
- Belgian ground water resources.
- To develop tools and methods for coupling studies on climatic and hydrological phenomena to water resource and surface water analyses and management studies, and in connection with this to develop a model for the integrated management of rivers that cross international boundaries.
- To model the changing relation between ground water and water/soil interaction in the hydrological basin in relation to climate change and change in land use.
- More generally, to study and model water-energy-nutrient exchanges between the soil, vegetation and the atmosphere.

A.4. The climate system

Objectives

To develop models which explain the fundamental processes of the climate system and make projections of the evolution of the climate in our regions (Europe - Belgium). Because climate models are constructed according to the laws of physics or factual data, the key scientific challenge is to couple these two approaches.


Priorities

- Climate models:

- An improved study of the atmosphere, ocean, cryosphere and biosphere components/modules of global climate models.
- To construct nested climate models to reconstruct changes in the Belgian climate (Western Europe) and make projections for the future.
- To consolidate the data sets needed to validate climate models (including by use of remote sensing and paleoclimatological data);
- To develop relevant methods and techniques to analyse natural climate variability and predictability.

- Climatic scenarios:

-To construct regional climate change scenarios for impact analysis from general circulation models (GCMs) coupled with nested regional models (cf. national communication under the Climate Convention).
- Past climate (palaeoclimate):

-To reconstruct past climatic conditions on a regional and/or global scale using sets of palaeoclimatological data. To develop methodologies.

-Biogeochemical cycles (especially the carbon cycle)

-To develop models of the carbon cycle as an input for climate models

Generally, to improve climate studies through increased cooperation between modellers and applied scientists as regards both model validation and impact assessments of climate change on terrestrial ecosystems and hydrological cycles. Priority will be given to studying the interfaces between the different climate system determinants (the ice cap, atmospheric chemistry,...).
