A tool was developed to serve a two-fold purpose: gathering of scenario data from integrated assessment models (IAMs) into a consistent dataset, and straightforward visualization of key data from multiple models. The approach adopted in the development of the tool can be potentially applied to any IAM MIP that follows the IAMC data submission...

Particulate Matter like Black Carbon, PM2.5 and PM10 present in the atmosphere not only poses a threat to human health but also contributes to near-term regional and global atmospheric warming.
