a Exponential growth rates after World Bank (1999) method (given on pages 371 to 372) are calculated using the different base years from the models.
b Resource availability is generally combined with scenario specific rates of technological change.
c Residual and other land- use categories are not shown in the Table.

Table 6- 2b: Overview of GHG, ozone precursors and sulfur emissions (standardized) for the four SRES scenario families and seven scenario groups for 2100. Numbers are for the four markers, the two additional illustrative A1FI and A1T scenarios (A1G and A1C are combined into one fossil- intensive scenario group A1FI in the SPM, A1FI is from the A1G group), and (in brackets) for the range across all scenarios within the same scenario group 1 . Range of SRES scenarios are also compared to the range from the IS92 scenarios. Units are given in the table.
