2018 Base Case G
The 2018 base case uses emissions projected to the year 2018 combined
with the 1996 meteorology. The purpose of the 2018 base case
is to serve as a reference for evaluating possible control
measures including BART, BART with Uncertainty, the Annex/Milestone
and various other model sensitivity simulations. All of these
simulations employ the 1996 meteorology because it is not
possible to predict the meteorology for 2018. By using a constant
1996 meteorology it is also possible to evaluate the effects
of emissions growth adn control strategies idependently of
changes in meteorology.
